BITNAND Function

Returns the bitwise logical NAND of two expressions.

Syntax

BITNAND(expression1,expression2)

Syntax elements

expressionA valid DataBasic expression or any string, substring or value; may be expressed as a variable name, a value, or a string enclosed in quote marks that evaluates to a decimal number (of which only the integer part is used).

Operation

Each expression is converted to a hexadecimal number before the logical NAND is performed. If one expression is shorter than the other the shorter one is first sign extended to be the same length. There is no limit to the length that can be accommodated.

Expression

Bit string

Expression A

0011

Expression B

0101

Function

Result

BITNAND(A,B)

1110

If a non-numeric expression is supplied a B16 warning is produced:

[B16] Program ProgramName Line LineNumber 
Non-numeric data when numeric required; zero used.
