Macro description

(For a general description of the job switch see the SETSW macro)

The macro GETSW copies into register R0 the settings of the job switches of the job that is currently running.
The switches are assigned to the bits of register R0 in ascending sequence (from right to left):

bit 2 (0)  -->  switch 0
bit 2 (1)  -->  switch 1
   :              :
   :              :
bit 2 (31) -->  switch 31

where:
bit 2ⁿ = 0: switch n off
bit 2ⁿ = 1: switch n on
0 <= n <= 31

There is no return code to report on execution of the macro.
