byte order
Determines the order in which the binary representation of the
data types
i, int8,
decfloat16,
decfloat34,
f, s, or a character is stored in the memory. A distinction is made between
big and
little endian. In the
former case, the system writes the byte with the highest level, and in the second case the byte with the lowest level, to the first position in the memory.
