INQUIRE: CONVERT Specifier

The CONVERT specifier asks what type of data conversion is in effect for a file. It takes the following form:
CONVERT =
fm
fm
Is a scalar default character variable that is assigned one of the following values:
'LITTLE_ENDIAN'
If the file is connected with little endian integer and IEEE* floating-point data conversion in effect
'BIG_ENDIAN'
If the file is connected with big endian integer and IEEE floating-point data conversion in effect
'CRAY'
If the file is connected with big endian integer and CRAY* floating-point data conversion in effect
'FDX'
If the file is connected with little endian integer and VAX* processor F_floating, D_floating, and IEEE binary128 data conversion in effect
'FGX'
If the file is connected with little endian integer and VAX processor F_floating, G_floating, and IEEE binary128 data conversion in effect
'IBM'
If the file is connected with big endian integer and IBM* System\370 floating-point data conversion in effect
'VAXD'
If the file is connected with little endian integer and VAX processor F_floating, D_floating, and H_floating in effect
'VAXG'
If the file is connected with little endian integer and VAX processor F_floating, G_floating, and H_floating in effect
'NATIVE'
If the file is connected with no data conversion in effect
'UNKNOWN'
If the file or unit is not connected for unformatted data transfer
