GT_NEWFLAG()
Create a new bit flag string.
- Syntax
-
- GT_NewFlag(<nFlagCount>) --> cFlagString
- Arguments
-
- <nFlagCount> is the number of flags you wish to store.
- Returns
-
- A string to hold the bit flags. ll flags are set to FLSE.
- Description
-
- GT_NewFlag() is used to construct a bit flag string. The bit flag functions can be used for storing a large number of logical values in a small space.
- To create a bit flag string you need to pass GT_NewFlag() a value that is equal to or greater than the number of flags required (you may want to allow for future expansion). Each character in the string returned from GT_NewFlag() will hold 8 logical values.
Examples
cFlags := GT_NewFlag(20) // Create a bit flag string for 20
// logical values.
