Typo

Posted by wonderbison at 2006-05-24 04:47 PM
There is a typo within this extract which is also contained in the book and will be rectified at the next reprint.
In the section Using COLUMNS_UPDATED() the following code should read (the correction is the line of code)

Now if bits 2 and 4 are switched on within a byte, in other words, they have a setting of true (00010100), then the value is 4 + 16, which equates to 20. Therefore, to test whether the third and fifth columns of our table have BOTH been altered, we would use the following syntax:

IF COLUMNS_UPDATED() & 20 = 20

Corrected!
