The sample program logoper.cbl, shown below, illustrates the use of bit manipulation routines. It uses three of the logical call-by-name routines, namely, CBL_OR, CBL_AND, and CBL_XOR.

In the sample program, the section blink-cursor makes the cursor character (the character the cursor is pointing to) blink by its attributes. To see how you would create code to make the cursor blink, first consider the form of the display attribute. The following table shows the structure of the attribute byte for a personal computer with a monochrome display.
Thus, for example, setting bit 7 to 1 turns blinking on. In the Working-Storage Section of the program, the mask for the "blink" attribute is defined as:
01 blink-mask pic x value x"80".
This hex value translates to the following bit pattern:
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
The CBL_READ_SCR_ATTRS routine reads the current attributes of the screen into an attribute buffer that in this case is one character long.
call "CBL_READ_SCR_ATTRS" using csr-pos csr-attr csr-length
The CBL_OR routine does a logical OR on the current attributes and the blinking mask. This in effect turns on the blinking attribute. Note that the length parameter is 1. This says the OR operation is for one byte.
call "CBL_OR" using blink-mask csr-attr by value 1
The CBL_WRITE_SCR_ATTRS routine writes the updated attributes buffer to the screen causing the character to "blink".
call "CBL_OR" using blink-mask csr-attr by value 1
