Some IBM documentation gives bit numbers 0-7 and other documentation gives the 
masks for those bits: bit 0 is mask 80, bit 1 is mask 40 ... bit 7 is mask 01.

Subject: Trying to understand SMF30_RAXFLAGS

We have a client who is trying to report on user key CSA usage. He is having
trouble understanding the IBM doc, as am I.

The SMF doc I am familiar with documents bits as X'80', X'40', etc. But the
SMF30_RAXFLAGS doc (both the APAR and the new manual) documents the bits as
Bit 0, Bit 1, etc. Usually in mainframe documentation "bit 0" refers to the
x'80' bit. But what the client is seeing is values for SMF30_RAXFLAGS of
binary 1, 2 or 3.

Can anyone confirm my interpretation of what he is seeing that by "bit 0"
IBM means X'01', by "bit 1" they mean x'02', and so forth?

Or provide some other interpretation?

Thanks,
Charles
