HAS BIT

Think of a number as a sequence of switches, each of which can be on (1) or off (0). Each switch represents a bit. The HAS BIT instruction will check a bit on (1), by checking the state of a specific switch within this sequence. The parameter position refers to the bit position inside the data. This value is zero based, and starts from the less significative bit and go on.
