>The first 3 are easy, but I do not understand the last 3. Are they concatenations of 2 constants? e.g., would PTR_S_JOURNAL_RECEIPT be defined as 1 | 2 ==> 12? PTR_S_JOURNAL_SLIP defined as 1 | 4 ==> 14?

Those are logical ORs; you can do the same thing with numerical values in VFP with addition, assuming that the bits involved do not have overlapping power of two values. For your examples,


#DEFINE PTR_S_JOURNAL 1
#DEFINE PTR_S_RECEIPT 2
#DEFINE PTR_S_SLIP 4

#DEFINE PTR_S_JOURNAL_RECEIPT PTR_S_JOURNAL + PTR_S_RECEIPT && 3
#DEFINE PTR_S_JOURNAL_SLIP PTR_S_JOURNAL + PTR_S_SLIP && 5
#DEFINE PTR_S_RECEIPT_SLIP PTR_S_RECEIPT + PTR_S_SLIP && 6
