Casting Confusion

[davidbgtx]

When I enter a not equal C416:D it changes it to c416:SD, does that stand for signed double word?
I'm trying to check through many alarm bits (c416-c471)with an easy statement, so I have not equal c416:d and not equal c448:d, which should test for c416-c480,correct??

Correct on all points.

So why does it automatically change to :SD when I enter it as c416:D

When you cast from a bit to a non-bit, it implicitly adds a data type, since there isn't one.

Thanks,
Well that was weird ,when I typed colon D in my post it changed it to a smiley face emojicon
