{{DISPLAYTITLE:_SETBIT}}
The [[_SETBIT]] function is used to set a specified bit of a numerical value to 1 (on state).


{{PageSyntax}}
:{{Parameter|result}} = [[_SETBIT]]({{Parameter|numericalVariable}}, {{Parameter|numericalValue}})


{{Parameters}}
* {{Parameter|numericalVariable}} is the variable to set the bit of and can be of the following types: [[_BYTE]], [[INTEGER]], [[LONG]], or [[_INTEGER64]].
* Integer values can be signed or [[_UNSIGNED]].
* {{Parameter|numericalValue}} the number of the bit to be set.


{{PageDescription}}
* Can be used to manually manipulate individual bits of an integer value by setting them to 1 (on state).
* Setting a bit that is already set to 1 will have no effect.
* Bits start at 0 (so a [[_BYTE]] has bits 0 to 7, [[INTEGER]] 0 to 15, and so on)

==Availability==
* '''Version 1.4 and up'''.

{{Cl|PRINT}} A~%%
A~%% = {{Cl|_SETBIT}}(A~%%,6) 'set the seventh bit of A~%%
{{Cl|PRINT}} A~%%
{{CodeEnd}}
{{OutputStart}}
 0
 64
{{OutputEnd}}
