Generating Non-ASCII Filenames

When an ESQL/C source file is processed, the ESQL/C processor generates a corresponding intermediate file for the source file. If you use non-ASCII characters (8-bit and multibyte character) in these source filenames, the following restrictions affect the ability of the ESQL/C processor to generate filenames that contain non-ASCII characters:

• The ESQL/C processor must know whether the operating system is 8-bit clean.

  For more information, see GLS8BITFSYS.

• The code set of the client locale (the client code set) must support the non-ASCII characters that are used in the ESQL/C source filename.
• Your C compiler supports the non-ASCII characters that the filename of the ESQL/C source file uses.

  If your C compiler does not support non-ASCII characters, you can use the CC8BITLEVEL environment variable as a workaround when your source file contains multibyte characters. For more information, see Generating Non-ASCII Filenames.
