would have have been OK - SQL seems to make my mind go blank...
Thanks for the case explanation Mark - v helpful.

It's because none of the WHEN 0x... cases, except 0xC0..., have multiple
bits set. T
Hi,
I used to bitwise stuff in Assembler in the 60's when disk space was
dear. Do not know your environment. But maybe my observations will help.
CASE stops after one conditions is met and does not test other cases.
The next line executed is after the CASEs
When I worked with bits, I would loo

CASE x WHEN y ... checks that x = y, not that x & y != 0. You are
checking for equality with a one-bit value - so of

I have a table with an integer value which is a bitmask. one or more of the
bits can be set and each bit has a corresponding meaning.
so using the windows file attribute as an example we have
0c01 readonly
0x02 hidden
0x04 system
0x10 directory
0x20 archive
none, any or all could be set
