hex & bitwise functions

are there any new functions / statements in 10.2 that help with hex and bitwise functions ? I have this code to convert:

value = "0xffffff";

do

{

colors.Add( Color.FromArgb(255, Color.FromArgb(value)) );

if ( value == 0 )

break;

if ( (value & 0xff) == 0 )

{

if ( (value & 0x00ff00) > 0 )

{

value -= 0x003300;

value += 0x0000ff;

}

else

{

value -= 0x330000;

value += 0x00ffff;

}

}

else

value -= 0x000033;

} while ( value >= 0 );

which I would attempt as:

ASSIGN value = 16777215.

DO WHILE value GT 0 :

colors:Add( Color:FromArgb(255, Color:FromArgb(value)) ).

if ( value EQ 0 ) THEN LEAVE.

if ( (value MOD 255 ) EQ 0 ) THEN

DO:

if ( (value MOD 65280) GT 0 ) THEN

ASSIGN value = value - 13056

value = value + 255.

else ASSIGN value = value - 3342336

value = value + 65535.

END.

else ASSIGN value = value - 51.

END.

what I am not sure about is the whole "&" thing, and I would prefer to keep the code as hex if posible.
