Floating-point encoding

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

ENFUND
Undefined floating-point encoding.

Floating-point numbers are represented using an encoding that is undefined.

ENFNOR
Normal IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) float encoding.

Floating-point numbers are represented using the standard IEEE floating-point format, with the bytes arranged as follows:

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

ENFREV
Reversed IEEE float encoding.

Floating-point numbers are represented in the same way as ENFNOR, but with the bytes arranged in reverse order. The bits within each byte are arranged in the same way as ENFNOR.

ENF390
System/390 architecture float encoding.

Floating-point numbers are represented using the standard System/390 floating-point format; this is also used by System/370(R).
