The BITOF operation causes bits identified in factor 2 to be set off (set to 0) in the result field. Bits not identified in factor 2 remain unchanged. Therefore, when using BITOF to format a character, you should use both BITON and BITOF : BITON to specify the bits to be set on (=1), and BITOF to specify the bits to be set off (=0). Unless you explicitly set on or off all the bits in the character, you might not get the character you want.
Factor 2 can contain:
In the result field, specify a one-position character field. It can be an array element if each element in the array is a one-position character field.
See Figure "BITON and BITOF Operations" for an example of the BITOF operation.
