I get it right, but I admit that the question is a little confusing: the value of 4 is the 3rd bit (starting from position ZERO, 2 is the right one). So, I understood you want to decod ANSI_WARNINGS that is GET_BIT(@@OPTION,3).

Yeah, I have to admit this one was a little confusing. According to the documentation "Value 4" on the user options table is referring to CURSON_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT. If you take it as the @@OPTIONS variable returns 4 (which is decimal) then you still end up with 0100 in binary which still indicates that value 4 of the user options table is set (CURSON_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT). If you ignore that and only read it as "How do you determine if SET ANSI_WARNINGS is enabled/disabled?"; then it makes more sense. At least to me...

They do it in a lot of languages... I hate it when people number the bits differently than the exponent of "2". 😀

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

The whole 0 or 1 based thing seems incredibly annoying to me. Someone should have just stated everything is 0-based early on and demanded all languages stick to this.

Once you actually get it that you need to work with OFFSET instead of pointers, handling bitwise operations will start working.

I always have such problems when I'm in the US and people state they live on the first floor.

At home this actually is groundlevel ( offset 0 ) - we only number and count the levels above or under ground level - and our first floor is called second floor in the US.

But, as always, bitwise operations are fun once you start using operators.

Heh... I'm thinking about Left_Shift() and Right_Shift() (I always knew them as Shift-Left and Shift_right in the old days). I can see that giving new meaning to the term RBAR. I'd call it BBAB bit I've already assigned that term to "Befriended By A Bot". Saw that happen last week on LinkedIn. Really strange.
