NOT Functions

The NOT functions change each 1 to a 0 and each 0 to a 1 in the binary representation of the argument.

Sample Syntax

INT1NOT(arg)

Remarks

•

As long as the argument value is in range of the function, the returned value is the same for INT1NOT, INT2NOT, INT4NOT, and INT8NOT. For example, INT1NOT(-127) = INT2NOT(-127) = INT4NOT(-127) = INT8NOT(-127).

•

Both 0 and -0 inputs return -1, but -1 input returns only 0.
