Hello Charles
what is the equivalent of PB MAK function ?
see http://www.manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/PBWINH/MAK_function.html (http://www.manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/PBWINH/MAK_function.html)
from PB Manual it is
Quote
MAK function
Purpose
Create an integral class value of a specified data type.
Syntax
resultvar = MAK(datatype, loworderval, highorderval)
Remarks
Create an integral class value of a specified data type (WORD, DWORD, PTR, INTEGER, LONG, QUAD) from a low-order and a high-order part.
The complements to this function are the HI and LO functions, which may be used to split a single 32-bit value into two 16-bit components.
Restrictions
MAK supercedes the MAKWRD, MAKDWD, and MAKPTR functions. Those functions are no longer supported, so update your code to use the new syntax.

HI, LO
Example
dwResult = MAK(DWORD, x??, y??)
Hi Chris,
Something like this:
function makword(byte lower,upper) as word
return upper*0x100+lower
end function
function makdword(word lower,upper) as dword
return upper*0x10000+lower
end function
'masking tests
int a,b
a=0x30101
b=0x30202
print hex makword a,b '201
print hex makdword a,b '2020101
Thanxx a lot Charles
i will test it out against PB to see if they work out
