Solaris 5.8 - BinaryFile - Endianness

I used a HEX Editor and converted the binary file to BIG-endian format. And, then I ran the same parser code. It still returns garbage 
So, keeping the original Binary File intact, while reading, how do I judge the native datatype for byte swapping order - because these n/w apis suggest something like this -
ntohs() - “network to host short”
Converts the unsigned short integer netshort from network byte order to host byte order.
ntohl() - “network to host long”
Converts the unsigned integer netlong from network byte order to host byte order.

srec_dec_binary - DEC Binary (XXDP) file format DESCRIPTION
The DEC Binary (XXDP) format was used on the PDP 11 series machines. This is a binary format, and is not readable or editable with a text editor. The file consists of records of the form +-----+--------+---------+------------+----------+ |type | length | address | ...data... | checksum | The field are defined as follows: +-----+--------+---------+------------+----------+ type Two byte little-endian value. Must always be 1. length Two byte little-endian value. This is the number of bytes in the data, plus six. address Two byte little-endian value. This is the load address of the data. data The data is simple raw bytes. There are (length-6) of them. checksum The checcksum is a single byte. It is the negative of the simple summ of all the header and data bytes. If the record length is exactly 6 (i.e. no data), this is the execution start address record, indicating the transfer address. In addition there may be NUL padding characters between records. It is common for records to be padded so that they start on even byte boundaries. In the days of paper tape, it was common for the file to have many leading NULs, to generate blank leader on the tape. Size Multiplier In general, raw binary data will expand in sized by approximately 1.03 times when represented with this format. COPYRIGHT
