Byteorder Definition

The byteorder definition specifies which format the Open SiteSearch Database Builder 4.0 software uses when writing data to bytes: low-to-high or high-to-low. You must use the byteorder definition when the database you are building will be hosted on a system that uses a different native byteorder than the system you are using to build the database. If byteorder is not defined in the database description (.dsc) file, the Database Builder software writes data in the format native to the host system by default.

Note:

If you do not know the read/write format of your host system (or of a target system), contact the system manufacturer.
