My ususal quick way to see the bit settings of a number is to simple assign that value to a symbol and SHOW that symbol.
It displays in Octal and in Hex, and those translate character by character to the bit pattern.
Of course, in a procedure, the already given .AND. will do the trick just fine.
But even there, it is a lot more intuitive to .AND. with a %O or a %X value!

fwiw.

Proost.

Have one on me (if/when you locate me at the bar in Nashua Sheraton)
