The WIDECHAR option specifies the format in which WIDECHAR data will be stored.
.-BIGENDIAN----. >>-WIDECHAR--(--+-LITTLEENDIAN-+--)----------------------------><
- BIGENDIAN
- Indicates that WIDECHAR data will be stored in big-endian format. For instance, the WIDECHAR value for the UTF-16 character 1 will be stored as '0031'x.
- LITTLEENDIAN
- Indicates that WIDECHAR data will be stored in little-endian format. For instance, the WIDECHAR value for the UTF-16 character 1 will be stored as '3100'x.
WX constants should always be specified in big-endian format. Thus the value '1' should always be specified as '0031'wx, even if under the WIDECHAR(LITTLEENDIAN) option, it is stored as '3100'x.
