sub function Lo(dim number as longint) as byte

Description Function returns the lowest byte of number. Function does not interpret bit patterns of number – it

merely returns 8 bits as found in register.

This is an “inline” routine; code is generated in the place of the call, so the call doesn’t count against

the nested call limit.

Parameters number: input value

Returns Lowest 8 bits (byte) of number, bits 7..0.

Requires Arguments must be variable of scalar type (i.e. Arithmetic Types and Pointers).

Example

d = 0x12345678

tmp = Lo(d) ‘ Equals 0x78

Lo(d) = 0xAA ‘ d equals 0x123456AA

Notes None.

sub function Hi(dim number as longint) as byte

Description Function returns next to the lowest byte of number. Function does not interpret bit patterns of number

– it merely returns 8 bits as found in register.
