<h2>Object-related APIs</h2>
<p>You can use object-related APIs to obtain information about i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP> objects.</p>
<p> The QUSLOBJ and QUSROBJD APIs return much of the same information. The APIs
differ, however, in several respects:</p>
<ul>
<li>The APIs group the returned information differently among their output
formats. For example, the OBJL0300 format of the QUSLOBJ API does not contain
exactly the same data as the OBJD0300 format of the QUSROBJD API.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The APIs use different data formats for some specific items, such as dates
and times.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The APIs differ in efficiency, depending on your application. In most
cases, the QUSROBJD API is faster at retrieving information about a single
object. The QUSLOBJ API is faster at retrieving information about several
objects.</li>
</ul>
<p>The object-related APIs are:</p>
