BITSET()

Purpose

Function to set a specified bit in a numeric value

Syntax

BITSET(<expN1>,<expN2>)

See Also

BITAND(), BITCLEAR(), BITLSHIFT(), BITNOT(), BITOR(), BITRSHIFT(), BITTEST(), BITXOR()

Description

The BITSET() function sets the specified bit <expN2> in a numeric value <expN1> to 1and returns the new value. If <expN1> and <expN2> are not integers, they will be converted to integer values before the clear takes place. The bit position, <expN2>, can range from 0 (rightmost bit) to 31.

Example

x = 6			&& 0110
y = 3
? bitset(x,y)
        14		&& 1110
