SET OutputRoot.Properties = InputRoot.Properties;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.MessageFormat = 'BLOB';
SET OutputRoot.MQMD = InputRoot.MQMD;

DECLARE options INTEGER BITOR(RootBitStream, ValidateNone);
-- DECLARE options INTEGER BITOR(FolderBitStream, ValidateNone);
SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = ASBITSTREAM( InputRoot.MRM
OPTIONS options
CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId
ENCODING InputRoot.Properties.Encoding
SET 'N4VV9BO002001'
TYPE 'BOUT_KLTORD_MSG'
FORMAT 'CWF');

I have this code snippet.
I like to know and understand following things about this node:
1. What is the function of BITOR ESQL Function ?
2. Here BITOR Function is supplied with the value RootBitStream and ValidateNone. What's the meaning of this and what will be the output of this function ?. What is RootBitStream and What is ValidateNone.
3. What is the function of ABSTREAM ? Can anyone explain the output of :
SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = ASBITSTREAM( InputRoot.MRM
OPTIONS options
CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId
ENCODING InputRoot.Properties.Encoding
SET 'N4VV9BO002001'
TYPE 'BOUT_KLTORD_MSG'
FORMAT 'CWF');

Thanks.
