What bit in the MASK column of the ARSAGFLD table represents the Expire Date checkbox on the Application Group
update screen on the field information tab.
If anyone has a document explaining the meaning of each bit on the MASK column that would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Luciano,
No there are no documentation for such information.
The easiest way to do it would be to make the change via the admin client / arsxml, and check what bit represent what.
But a warning, since IBM didn't put information on what bit does what, they have the possibility to change it at any time in the future.
It might work for one version and not anymore for the next.
To be honest the spec haven't changed much since the beginning, and at the same time it can happen at anytime. So don't rely on them too much and check it with each new release.
That's what I do personally...
Sincerely yours,
Alessandro
The values of this specific field has changed in the past as CMOD has added new features (and decommissioned older features). I don't recommend relying on this field for day-to-day operations.
However, the information you're looking for is in bit 5 (counting from the right).
