It contains the following topics: Where multibyte characters are valid in an embedded-language (ESQL) source file How ESQL library functions have been enhanced to support multibyte characters and localized date and time end-user formats How to check for warnings within an ESQL application if a connection encounters locale-related inconsistencies Tip: This chapter covers GLS information for both ESQL/C and ESQL/COBOL. For information specific to ESQL/C, refer to Chapter 8, "INFORMIX-ESQL/C Features." For descriptions of Informix SQL API features that are not unique to the GLS feature, see the INFORMIX-ESQL/C Programmer's Manual.
