|
|
<p>Some of the information contains special values. For example, the list
|
|
object API returns the object type as a special value (*PGM, *LIB, and so
|
|
on). However, special values may be added in future releases. Even numeric
|
|
values may have new special values. When you code to APIs, you should assume
|
|
that the format of the information returned will not change from release to
|
|
release, but the content of the information might change.</p>
