How to: |
Operating environments differ in whether the most-significant or least-significant byte is ordered first when storing numeric data. Ordering the most significant byte first is called big-endian (BE), and ordering the least significant byte first is called little-endian (LE).
You may need to specify the byte order in the Master File if you are reading data from a different operating environment.
BYTEORDER={BE|LE}
where:
Specifies that the most significant byte is ordered first. Environments that support big-endian byte order include AIX, Solaris, and z/OS.
Specifies that the least significant byte is ordered first. Environments that support little-endian (reverse-byte) byte order include Windows and Linux.
