Syntax
... {BIG|LITTLE} ENDIAN ...
Effect
This addition specifies that numeric data objects of the type i, decfloat16,
decfloat34, f, or s are stored in the file in the
byte order Big Endian or
Little Endian. When a data object of these types is written or read, a conversion between these orders and the byte order of the current platform is performed, if necessary. If the addition is not specified, the byte order of the current
application server is used.
