[Robelle-l] Suprtool and bit math

[per.2.ostberg@kus.se]

greetings,
I'd like to extract records from my dataset if all bits set in the item
ORDERED is also set in the item PERFORMED. The items are I1 (16-bit
integers).
Using "if ordered - performed <> 0" doesn't quite cut it since sometimes
more bits are set in PERFORMED...

In HP-Fortran I'd say something like:
if ((ORDERED .and. PERFORMED) .eq. ORDERED)
but that's because HP-Ftn77 can do bitwise "and" on integers.

Is there a way to do this in suprtool? if not with bit-arithmetic, perhaps
someone less mathematically challenged than I know of a way to do this with
suprtools arithmetic operators "+, -, *, / and mod"?

tia
