SET-BYTE-ORDER Statement
Sets an internal indicator designating the byte-order of the data pointed to by the MEMPTR variable.
SYNTAX
memptr
An expression that returns a MEMPTR.
integer-expression
An expression that returns an integer value that will be used to indicate the byte-ordering of the data in the memory to which the MEMPTR points. integer-expression must be one of the reserved keywords defined in Table 40 or its corresponding value. If integer-expression is not valid, Progress generates an error.
NOTES
- The byte order for a MEMPTR is HOST-BYTE-ORDER by default, that is, if SET-BYTE-ORDER has not been called for a given MEMPTR, its byte order is HOST-BYTE-ORDER.
- SET-BYTE-ORDER by itself never affects data currently in the MEMPTR, that is, it does not actually re-order the data. It only affects how subsequent calls to the PUT- statements and GET- functions work with that MEMPTR variable.
