bitshiftr()

Function group Execute on client Platform(s)
Binary Field NO All

Syntax

bitshiftr(binary,count)

Description

Shifts a binary field to the right by a number of bits specified in count. Operates directly on binary. Returns a Boolean (true for success).

The function operates directly on the argument, and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. Vacated bits become zero. Bits shifted past the right-most bit are lost.

The first parameter can be a Binary or an Integer; in the case of Binary, you need to provide a variable, and not the result of a calculation.

Example

Calculate lStatus as  bitshiftr(lBinary,lCount)
