## Description

This method is called by the streaming system if it expects to read a set from the stream (i.e. after ReadValue returned a valuetype of vaSet). The return value is the contents of the set, encoded in a bitmask the following way:

For each (enumerated) value in the set, the bit corresponding to the ordinal value of the enumerated value should be set. i.e. as 1 shl ord(value).
