Handle locale-specific data

Each HCL Informix® SQL API product contains a processor to process Informix ESQL/C source files that have embedded SQL and preprocessor statements.

The Informix ESQL/C processor, esql, processes C source files.

The processors for Informix ESQL/C products use operating-system files in the following situations:

They write language-specific source files (.c) when they process the Informix ESQL/C source file.
The Informix ESQL/C processors use the client code set (that the client locale specifies) to generate the file names for these language-specific files.
They read Informix ESQL/C source files (.ec) that the user creates.
The Informix ESQL/C processors use the client code set to interpret the contents of these Informix ESQL/C source files.

Use the CLIENT_LOCALE environment variable to specify the client locale.
