Floating-point encoding

The following values are valid for the floating-point encoding:

MQENC_FLOAT_UNDEFINED
Floating-point numbers are represented using an encoding that is undefined.
MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_NORMAL
Floating-point numbers are represented using the standard IEEE3 floating-point format, with the bytes arranged as follows:

Details of the IEEE float encoding can be found in IEEE Standard 754.

MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_REVERSED
Floating-point numbers are represented in the same way as MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_NORMAL, but with the bytes arranged in reverse order. The bits within each byte are arranged in the same way as MQENC_FLOAT_IEEE_NORMAL.
MQENC_FLOAT_S390
Floating-point numbers are represented using the standard System/390(R) floating-point format; this is also used by System/370(TM).
