DCL:MISC｣ｱ:BITLIB: Bit-Pattern Processing *#:Explanation of Subroutines

2.4.1 BITPIC

1.

Function

Returns a bit pattern as character strings of '0' and '1'.

2.

Call

CALL BITPIC(IP,CP)

3.

Explanation of Parameters

IP	(I)	An argument of 1 word length that checks the bit pattern..
CP	(C*(*))	A character-type argument that returns the bit pattern. '1' and '0' are returned when the bit is ON and OFF, respectively.

4.

Notes

(a)

When the length of CP is N (=LEN(CP)), then this subroutine checks the lower MIN(N,NB) bits of IP (NB is a number determined by the internal variable 'NBITSPW') and returns the bit pattern right-aligned. When N is greater than NB, CP(1:N-NB) is undefined.
