Common Runtime Services
A selection of off-the-shelf components (bindable
APIs) is supplied as part of ILE, ready to be incorporated into
your applications. These APIs provide services such as:
- Date and time manipulation
- Message handling
- Math routines
- Greater control over screen handling
- Dynamic storage allocation
Over time, additional routines will be added to this set and others will be available from third-party vendors.
IBM has online information that provides further details of the APIs supplied with ILE. Refer to the APIs topic that is found in the Programming category of the IBM® i Information Center.
