Language Character Sets

Embedded SQLJ supports Java's Unicode escape sequences. Also, if you set your Java property file.encoding to 8859_1 (or do not set it at all), you can use the Latin-1 character set.

To process files with a different encoding—for example, SJIS—you have the following choices:

• Use the Sun JDK tool native2ascii to convert the native encoded source to a source with ASCII encoding.
• Set file.encoding=SJIS in java.properties in the Java home directory.
• Invoke the SQLJ translator using the following command:

  java ifxsqlj -Dfile.encoding=SJIS file.sqlj
