NAME
_encodedecimal64(), _encodedecimal128(), _encodedecimal32() - encode decimal-encoded decimal data SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
There are two standard bit-encodings for decimal floating-point data: binary and decimal. Both encoding provide exactly the same data (analogous to big endian and little endian encodings). The HP-UX decimal floating-point types use the binary encoding. The function encodes x as a decimal-encoded 64-bit decimal datum. is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result. is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.
