Bytes Swapping in iSeries

[srilaxmi@xxxxxxx]

Hi

I have a ILERPG Socket program, that sends data in the form of data
structures to the third party API (written in delphi). The data is
transmitting fine, but reaching in different format.

Example :

Input:
Field A = 0         200
          1st Byte       2nd Byte

Where the Field A is declared as Unsigned 5 U 0 in RPG Pgm.
When it transmit over a socket, the bytes are swapping and becoming 200  0.

Result:
Field A = 200       0
          1st Byte       2nd Byte

This is the problem I am getting. To do the bytes swapping, Can I use htons
() in RPG Pgm. If yes, please explain with examples.

Thanks & Regards
Lakshmi
