CharRLR()

Rotates bits in a character string to the right.

Syntax

CharRLR( <cString>, <nShift> ) --> cResult

Arguments

<cString>

This is the character string to process.

<nShift>

This is a numeric integer value indicating how many places the bits of each character of <cString> are rotated to the right.

Return

The function returns a string by rotating the bits of the individual characters of <cString> for <nShift> places to the right. The lowest bit replaces the highest bit for each rotation.

Example

// The example demonstrates the effect of rotating bits in
// a two-character string, by displaying the ASCII codes and
// their binary representation before and after the right rotation.

      LOCAL cString := "AB"
      LOCAL cShift
