BIT.SHOW - Show binary Bits
Show Bits
Intention
SHOW will convert a Number into Binary format.
The parameters P1 can be given as value or as "binary".
The result is in P2 which is the binary version of P1 "as Text".

Syntax
BIT.SHOW|[b/v]P1|P2[|P3]
Parameter Explanation
P1 - Variable containing a value or binary number. For example take the Number "9". It can be an ASC-Code "9" or the numeric number "9".
You can define this with a prefix of "v" for value and "b" for "binary". If the prefix is omitted, "v" is the default setting for P1.
P2 - Variable for result or "-". You can define this with a prefix of "v" for value and "b" for "binary". If the prefix is omitted, "v" is the default setting for P2.
If omitted the result is placed on the TOS. Also here you can specify [b/v] for the format of the result. If you do not specify anything the result is "value"-Format.
P3 - optional, can be 1,2 or 4. Number of Bytes that are used internally. The number of Bits is the number of Bytes times 8.
1 - 8 Bits
2 - 16 Bits
4 - 32 Bits
Do not use the "8" Option. See Limitations below.

Remarks
-
Limitations:
When using the "|8" Parameter, the lower 4 bits are possibly wrong. This is not a bug its due to the way variables are stored internally.
Therefore we recommend to not use this option.
