The iSeries™ Access for Windows® Remote Command/Distributed Program Call APIs allow the PC application programmer to access functions on the iSeries system. User program and system commands can be called without requiring an emulation session. A single iSeries program serves commands and programs, so only one iSeries job is started for both.
The iSeries Access for Windows Remote Command application programming interfaces (APIs) enable your PC application to start non-interactive commands on the iSeries system and to receive completion messages from these commands. The iSeries server command can send up to ten reply messages.
The iSeries Access for Windows Distributed Program Call API allows your PC application to call any iSeries program or command. Input, output and in/out parameters are handled through this function. If the program runs correctly, the output and the in/out parameters will contain the data returned by the iSeries program that was called. If the program fails to run correctly on the iSeries server, the program can send up to ten reply messages.
