<h2>i5/OS PASE APIs</h2>
<p>Portable Application Solutions Environment (i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP> PASE) is an integrated
runtime environment for AIX<sup>(R)</sup> applications. i5/OS PASE supports the same binary
executable format as AIX for PowerPC<sup>(R)</sup> and a large subset of AIX runtime that
allows many AIX applications to run with little or no change.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The functions available to you through i5/OS PASE are:</p>
