<h2>ILE CEE APIs</h2>
<p>The Integrated Language Environment<sup>(R)</sup> (ILE) architecture on the
i5/OS<sup>(TM)</sup> operating system provides a set of bindable application
programming interfaces (APIs) known as ILE CEE APIs. In some cases, they provide
additional function beyond that provided by a specific high-level language. For
example, not all high-level languages (HLL) offer intrinsic means to manipulate
dynamic storage. In these cases, you can supplement an HLL function by using
appropriate ILE CEE APIs. If your HLL provides the same function as a particular
ILE CEE API, use the HLL-specific one.</p>
<p>The ILE CEE APIs are useful for mixed-language applications because they are
HLL independent. For example, if you use only condition management ILE CEE APIs
with a mixed-language application, you will have uniform condition handling
semantics for that application. This uniformity can make condition management
easier than when using multiple HLL-specific condition handling models.</p>
<p>The ILE CEE APIs provide a wide-range of functional areas including:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="ile2a1TOC.htm">Activation Group and Control Flow APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile3a1TOC.htm">Condition Management APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile4a1TOC.htm">Date and Time APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile5a1TOC.htm">Math APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile6a1TOC.htm">Message Services APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile7a1TOC.htm">Program or Procedure Call APIs</a></li>
<li><a href="ile8a1TOC.htm">Storage Management APIs</a></li>
</ul>
