Function Name is_bad
Function Syntax Uint32 is_bad(vs_float F) OR
Uint32 is_bad(vs_discrete D)
Input Any symbol that is a value status combination
Purpose This function checks to see if the quality of status
of the input parameter is Bad. If it is, the function
returns TRUE, otherwise it returns FALSE.
Return value Unsigned 32-bit integer TRUE (value 1) or
FALSE (value 0)
