BITNOT

Use the BITNOT function to return the bitwise negation of an integer specified by any numeric expression.

COMMAND SYNTAX

    BITNOT(expression)

If expression evaluates to the null value, null is returned.

Non integer values are truncated before the operation is performed. The BITNOT operation is performed on a 32-bit twos-complement word.

NOTE: Differences in hardware architecture can make the use of the high-order bit non portable.

    CRT BITNOT(6)     ;*  4294967289

Explanation of this example:

     6 (decimal) = 110 (binary)
     Invert every bit (32-bit representation): 11111111111111111111111111111001
     Convert to decimal: 4294967289
