SET

Top  Previous  Next

Action

Set a bit to the value one.

 

 

Syntax

SET bit

SET var.x

SET var

 

 

Remarks

Bit

Bit or Boolean variable.

Var

A byte, integer, word or long variable.

X

Bit of variable to set. Valid values are : 0-7 (byte, registers), 0-15 (Integer/Word) and (0-31) for a Long

 

 

When the bit is not specified, bit 0 will be set.

Also notice that the bit range is 0-255. Using a larger value on a variable will overwrite a different variable !

When you need an array of say 128 bits you can use code like this : dim ar(32) as long

You can index these variables like : SET ar(1).127 , in this case you write only to the memory of the intended variable.
