Description

0

esql compiles source code whose non-ASCII characters have already been converted.

1

esql invokes esqlmf to filter multibyte characters when preprocessing an ESQL/C source file.

The ESQLMF environment variable indicates whether the esql command automatically invokes the ESQL/C multibyte filter, esqlmf.

The value of the CC8BITLEVEL environment variable determines the type of filtering that esqlmf performs. For information about esqlmf, see Generating Non-ASCII Filenames.

If you want to compile existing source code whose non-ASCII characters have already been converted, either set ESQLMF to 0 or do not set it. In either case, esql does not invoke esqlmf.
