Binary-integer encoding

The following values are valid for the binary-integer encoding:

MQENC_INTEGER_UNDEFINED

Binary integers are represented using an encoding that is undefined.

MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL

Binary integers are represented in the conventional way:

• The least significant byte in the number has the highest address of any of the bytes in the number; the most significant byte has the lowest address
• The least significant bit in each byte is adjacent to the byte with the next higher address; the most significant bit in each byte is adjacent to the byte with the next lower address

MQENC_INTEGER_REVERSED

Binary integers are represented in the same way as MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL, but with the bytes arranged in reverse order. The bits within each byte are arranged in the same way as MQENC_INTEGER_NORMAL.
