The ENCODING property
The ENCODING property comprises three sub-properties, in twelve possible combinations.
The valid values that the
ENCODING
property can take are constructed from the three sub-properties:- integer encoding
- Either normal or reversed
- decimal encoding
- Either normal or reversed
- floating-point encoding
- IEEE normal, IEEE reversed, or z/OS®
The
ENCODING
property is expressed as a three-character string with the following syntax:
{N|R}{N|R}{N|R|3}
In this string:
N
denotes normalR
denotes reversed3
denotes z/OS- The first character represents integer encoding
- The second character represents decimal encoding
- The third character represents floating-point encoding
ENCODING
property.
There is an additional value, the string NATIVE
, which sets appropriate encoding values for the Java platform.
The following examples show valid combinations for
ENCODING
:
ENCODING(NNR)
ENCODING(NATIVE)
ENCODING(RR3)
