My current app records numerous logical values and, since I've just run
out of available bit locations in my integer field, I thought I'd change
it to Q(10). This produced a number of problems and c5 flameouts. I
think I've got it working now, but improvements and suggestions are
requested. You won't get the usual errors if you replace ... with
bitset/clear offsets that are out of bounds.
In order to store a Q10 value that has no bits set I use:
replace <Q10Field> with cast(replicate(chr(0), 10) as Q(10))
Q: Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Q:How to set an all bits off default value?
Q:How to determine field width: len() and fsize() don't work, but using
afields(...) seems to be ok.
for n = 0 to 9
? n, bittest(<Q10field>,n)
next
... verifies that the value is correct.
TIA
