3230.0. "any plan to support big-endian/little-endian" by EVTAI1::ROCHE () Thu Apr 17 1997 10:00


	As far as I know, DEC COBOL does'nt support any directive to switch
	to big-endian for binary values, MICROFOCUS does
	Is there any plan to support big endian with DEC COBOL ?

	thanks

    There are no current plans to support big endian binary data as a
    numeric type with DEC COBOL.  Contact the product manager (Tariq Nazeer
    -  TEAMLK::NAZEER) and give him details about any customer you have
    that might use DEC COBOL if it had big endian binary data support.
