Re: [open-cobol-list] bit manipulation ?

[Patrick]

I should have looked a Brian's site first . It looks like there are a 
number of reserved words that are not yet implemented regarding 
manipulating bits.

Let's change the focus of this post from how do I do this, to how do I 
write this for GNUcobol.

How hard would this be to add and does anyone have some useful links to 
reference materials that might help?

Perhaps I could write standalone programs that will do what is needed in 
theory and the developers can rework it into the code base later.

Thanks

P.S there does seem to be some workaround material posted here:
