Subject:	Select MS Bit from an integer

Quick question that I didn’t see an immediate way to perform

How do I select the most-significant set bit in an integer? I was thinking about using a SEL, but that seems like a lot of work just to do a simple thing. Other possibility would be a SUB, but I’d like to do it with base record types if I can.

Something simple please…
