sub function Higher(dim number as longint) as byte
Description Function returns next to the highest 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 Returns next to the highest byte of number, bits 16..23.
Requires Arguments must be variable of scalar type (i.e. Arithmetic Types and Pointers).
Example
d = 0x12345678
tmp = Higher(d) ‘ Equals 0x34
Higher(d) = 0xAA ‘ d equals 0x12AA5678
Notes None.
