I have searched high and low in the forum and DGDK Docs for this command with no luck. I only posted this out of pure frustration. Can someone, anyone please tell me where the DGDK dbSetBitmapFormat or equivalent is located. I'm using Memblock commands to capture the image from a Bitmap. The technique worked in DBP, but, DGDK is missing a SET BITMAP FORMAT equivalent. Sincere Thanks in advance.

20 24-bit RGB pixel format with 8 bits per channel.
21 32-bit ARGB pixel format with alpha, using 8 bits per channel.
22 32-bit RGB pixel format, where 8 bits are reserved for each color.
23 16-bit RGB pixel format with 5 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for blue.
24 16-bit pixel format where 5 bits are reserved for each color.
