Shifts all bits one place to the left or right.

Syntax

ROTATE var , LEFT/RIGHT [ , shifts]

Remarks

Var Byte, Integer/Word or Long variable.
Shifts The number of shifts to perform.
Note that the behavior of ROTATE is just like the ASM RL or RR mnemonic. It works for integer, words, single and longs also. All bits in the variable are preserved so for a byte after 8 rotations, the value will be the same.
