int_spec 

Syntax

<int_spec> ::= INTEGER HILO | INTEGER LOHI

INTEGER HILO

The current data file stores integers so that the byte with the lowest valency is stored first (the big endian in the binary number)

INTEGER LOHI

The current data file stores integers so that the byte with the highest valency is stored first (little endian, byte swap)

Use

This is a syntax rule for describing data access.

Use it to define the representation of integers in data files. You can only do this for data files with the FORMATTED BINARY file format. This rule is ignored when you load or unload data with data files that have the COMPRESSED file format.

If the representation specified for a data file does not match the current host, the values are adjusted before being loaded into the database or written to the data file.
