| Does REXX have an instruction or way to conduct a Test Under Mask like assembler does? I have a one byte binary field. I need to test if the third bit is on. Only the third bit. |

| Code: |
BITAND (Bit by Bit AND)
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
|>>---BITAND---(--string1---+----------------------------------+---)----->< |
| +--,--+------------+---+--------+--+ |
| +--string2---+ +--,pad--+ |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
returns a string composed of the two input strings logically ANDed
together, bit by bit. (The encoding of the strings are used in the logical
operation.) The length of the result is the length of the longer of the
two strings. If no pad character is provided, the AND operation stops when
the shorter of the two strings is exhausted, and the unprocessed portion
of the longer string is appended to the partial result. If pad is
provided, it extends the shorter of the two strings on the right before
carrying out the logical operation. The default for string2 is the zero
length (null) string. |

or use c2x+x2b and then use the substr function.
i.e.:
v = '08'x
say x2b(c2x(v)) /* -> 00001000 */ |
