Portable Application Solutions Environment (i5/OS(TM) PASE) is an integrated runtime environment for AIX(R) applications. i5/OS PASE supports the same binary executable format as AIX for PowerPC(R) and a large subset of AIX runtime that allows many AIX applications to run with little or no change.
i5/OS PASE supports direct hardware execution of PowerPC instructions (not an emulator), while providing access to the same i5/OS support used by ILE applications for file systems, sockets, security, and many other system services.
An i5/OS PASE program can be stored in any bytestream file in the i5/OS Integrated File System because it is simply a binary file. i5/OS PASE programs can be created by any compiler and linker that produce executables compatible with AIX for PowerPC.
You must call a system API to run an i5/OS PASE program. The system provides both callable program APIs and ILE procedure APIs to run i5/OS PASE programs. The callable program APIs can be easier to use, but do not offer all the controls available with the ILE procedure APIs.
The functions available to you through i5/OS PASE are:
