[open-cobol-list] bit manipulation ?

[Patrick]

Hi Everyone

I would like to set individual bits for use in calling arguments in C. 
Many C libraries use bit masks.

I have found a number of examples on the net but nothing that I have 
been able to get working yet.

Here is one error:

bit1.cob:32: Error: 'BIT' reserved word, but not supported yet

I am using 1.1

Is there a way to do this with GNUcobol ?

Thanks-Patrick
