Using bit operations

If the programming language supports bit operations, perform the following steps:

  1. Select one of the following values, according to the type of encoding required:

    • MQENC_INTEGER_MASK for the binary integer encoding

    • MQENC_DECIMAL_MASK for the packed decimal integer encoding

    • MQENC_FLOAT_MASK for the floating point encoding

    Call the value

    A.

  2. Combine the Encoding field with A using the bitwise AND operation; call the result

    B.

  3. B is the encoding required, and can be tested for equality with each of the values that is valid for that type of encoding.
