web site.i5/OS PASE runtime supports a large subset of the interfaces provided by
AIX runtime. Most runtime interfaces supported by i5/OS PASE provide the same
options and behavior as AIX. The latest information about what AIX runtime
interfaces are supported by i5/OS PASE can found at the PartnerWorld for
Developers, iSeries web site.
i5/OS PASE interfaces for Structured Query Language (SQL) Call Level Interface (CLI) are somewhat different from any AIX database. i5/OS PASE library libdb400.a handles (ASCII/EBCDIC) character encoding conversions, but supports only the options and behaviors provided by DB2 Universal Database for iSeries. An i5/OS PASE program that uses SQL CLI must compile using i5/OS header file sqlcli.h. See i5/OS PASE for more information.
i5/OS PASE runtime includes the following libraries, installed (as symbolic
links) in /usr/lib. See
AIX documentation
for
information about most of the interfaces exported by these libraries, DB2
Universal Database for iSeries documentation for information about SQL CLI
interfaces, and i5/OS PASE APIs for information about
interfaces that are unique to i5/OS PASE:
