You can follow the instructions in this topic to copy the export files from your iSeries™ server to an AIX® directory.
The export files, located in the following i5/OS™ directory, are the recommended way to build your applications that require access to i5/OS system-specific functions:
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/PASE/lib
You can copy these files to any AIX directory. Use the -bI: option on the AIX ld command (or compiler command) to define symbols not found in the shared libraries on the AIX system.
i5/OS PASE provides the following export files:
| Export file | Function |
|---|---|
| as400_libc.exp | This file is the export file for i5/OS system-unique functions in libc.a The as400_libc.exp file defines all the exports from the i5/OS PASE version of libc.a that are not exported by the AIX versions of those libraries. |
| libdb400.exp | This file is the export file for i5/OS database
functions The libdb400.exp file defines the exports from the i5/OS PASE libdb400.a library (DB2® UDB for iSeries Call Level Interfaces (CLI) support). |
