NUMAND()
Performs a 16-bit "AND" of a list of numbers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NUMAND(<nWORD1|cHexWORD1>,<nWORD2|cHexWORD2>,
[...<nWORDn|<cHexWORDn>]) --> nWORD-AND
Argument
<nWORD1|cHexWORD1>, <nWORD2|cHexWORD2>, ...<nWORDn|cHexWORDn>
Designates either decimal or hexadecimal number strings.
Returns
NUMAND() joins all designated parameters with the logical "AND" and
returns the result.
Description
This function makes it simple to test several bits in a number
simultaneously. If bits are connected in an AND configuration, you can
mask out specific bits and the unneeded bits are reset to 0. All the
numbers specified as parameters are then connected with AND.
Note
. An invalid parameter returns a result of -1.
Example
Test an interface register:
The register contains: 00011101
The constant in binary: 00000111
________
The result: (5) 00000101
nStatus := COM_MSR()
IF NUMAND(nStatus, 7) = 5
? "Bit 1 and Bit 2 are set!"
ENDIF
