Hi All,

We have a field in our database that stores a BIT value in character format. Each of the BITs represents a user group. Since there are only 20 user groups we have yet to run into the 32 BIT limit problem.

I am currently converting the programs to access an ORACLE database. So the following query is no longer valid because of the BITTEST() Function.

SELECT EMP.pers_no FROM EMP WHERE BITTEST( VAL(EMP.login_lvl), 7 )

Is there a way to convert this? I'd like to create a Function on the database where I can just pass the BIT value to be tested and have all the PERS_NOs returned.

TIA
Mike
