Adds debugging information to the runtime database error messages generated by Embedded SQL. The source file name, error number and the statement in error are printed with the error message.

-f[filename]

Writes preprocessor output to the named file. If you do not specify filename, the output is sent to standard output, one screen at a time.

Sets the default size of integers to N bytes. N must be either 2 or 4. The default is 4. If 2 is used, you must also use the -i2 compiler flag (UNIX), the noi4 qualifier (VMS), or the /integer_size:16 compiler flag (Windows).

Recognizes gfortran syntax for f90, and generates code using that syntax.

Writes preprocessor error messages to the preprocessor's listing file, as well as to the terminal. The listing file includes preprocessor error messages and your source text in a file named filename.lis, where filename is the name of the input file.

Like -l, but the generated Fortran code also appears in the listing file.

Directs the processor not to generate output files for include files. This flag does not affect the translated include statement in the main program. The preprocessor generates a default extension for the translated include file statements unless you use the -o.ext flag.

Specifies the extension given by the preprocessor to both the translated include statements in the main program and the generated output files. If this flag is not provided, the default extension is ".f" (UNIX) or ".for" (VMS and Windows).

If you use this flag in combination with the -o flag, then the preprocessor generates the specified extension for the translated include statements, but does not generate new output files for the include statements.

Reads input from standard input and generates Fortran code to standard output. This is useful for testing unfamiliar statements. If you specify the -l option with this flag, the listing file is called "stdin.lis." To terminate the interactive session, type Control-D (UNIX) or Control-Z (VMS and Windows).

Indicates the file declares an integer variable named SQLCODE to receive status information from SQL statements. That declaration need not be in an exec sql begin/end declare section. This feature is provided for ISO Entry SQL-92 conformity. However, the ISO Entry SQL92 specification describes SQLCODE as a "deprecated feature," and recommends using the SQLSTATE variable.

Tells the preprocessor not to assume the existence of a status variable named SQLCODE.

Prints warning messages.

This flag is identical to -wsql=open. However, -wopen is supported only for backwards capability. See -wsql=open for more information.

 

Causes the preprocessor to flag any usage of syntax or features that do not conform to the ISO Entry SQL92 entry level standard. (This is also known as the "FIPS flagger" option.)

Use open only with OpenSQL syntax. -wsql = open generates a warning if the preprocessor encounters an Embedded SQL statement that does not conform to OpenSQL syntax. (For OpenSQL syntax, see the OpenSQL Reference Guide.) This flag is useful if you intend to port an application across an Enterprise Access product. The warnings do not affect the generated code and the output file may be compiled. This flag does not validate the statement syntax for any Enterprise Access product whose syntax is more restrictive than that of OpenSQL.

esqlf file1

Preprocesses "file1.sf" to:

      "file1.f" (UNIX)
      "file1.for" (VMS and Windows)

esqlf file2.xf

Preprocesses "file2.xf" to

      "file2.f" (UNIX
      "file2.for" (VMS and Windows)

esqlf -l file3

Preprocesses "file3.sf" to:

      "file3.f" (UNIX)

      "file3.for" (VMS and Windows)

and creates listing "file3.lis"

esqlf -s

Accepts input from standard input

esqlf -ffile4.out file4

Preprocesses "file4.sf" to "file4.out"
