MSW, MSByte, LSByte, LSW


Recommended Posts

I have a value returned from a dll

$dwSts = 0x00000004

and the explanation to decode it is as follows

into MSW (most significant WORD)

the MSByte is the irrecoverable error status

the LSByte is recover status

into LSW (less significant WORD)

the MSByte is the user status

the LSByte is paper status

I'm afraid I don't understand what I'm supposed to do, can anyone help?

Thanks

Chris

Never mind, I figured it out

(0x)0000 is MSW

Then if you split that down

MSByte is the first byte the left hand 00

LSByte is the right hand byte the right hand 00

LSW is the remaining 0004

MSByte is 00

LSByte is 04
