Mike Beckerle commented on DAFFODIL-244:
----------------------------------------

The GRIB1 format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRIB) uses ibm390Hex floating 
point numbers. 
This format is for meteorology. It is very big and detailed format, but appears 
to be describable using DFDL.

>             Project: Daffodil
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Back End, DFDL Language
>            Reporter: Mike Beckerle
>            Priority: Minor

> binaryFloatRep can be either "ieee" or "ibm390Hex", but the latter is a tier 
> 3 priority feature.
> Hence, this whole thing is tier 3 since "ieee" is the only thing we support.
