X#
Perform a bitwise inclusive OR operation on two or more values of Numeric, Varbinary, or Blob type and returns the result. There is a numeric and a binary version of the syntax.

) AS LONG

Parameters

Arg1
Type: Long
Specifies Varbinary or Blob value to perform the bitwise AND operation.
Arg2
Type: Long
Specifies Varbinary or Blob values to perform the bitwise AND operation.

Return Value

Type: Long
Numeric or Varbinary. BitOr( ) returns the result of a bitwise inclusive OR operation on the specified expressions.
For Varbinary or Blob values, the return value is calculated as if all values are padded with 0h00 on the right of the value up to the length of the longest value. The appropriate operation is then performed between those values.
Remarks
BitOr( ) compares each bit in eExpressionN to the corresponding bit in eExpressionN+1. If either of the bits in eExpressionN and eExpressionN+1 is 1, the corresponding result bit is set to 1; otherwise, the corresponding result bit is set to 0.
The following table shows the result of an inclusive OR operation on corresponding eExpressionN and nExpressionN+1 bits:

Examples
X#
1x = 5  // 0101 binary
2y = 6  // 0110 binary
3? BitOr(x,y) // Returns 7, 0111 binary
