APIs for the Integrated Language Environment

The Integrated Language Environment (ILE) model is a set of tools and system support designed to enhance program development on an AS/400 sys Bindable ILE APIs are independent from the high-level languages. This c useful when mixed languages are involved.

The ILE APIs provide functions such as:

Ÿ	Dynamic	screen	management (DSM)
Ÿ	National	language	support
Ÿ	Mail server framework

ŸProblem management

Ÿ Programming and control language (CL)

ŸRegistration facility

ŸSource debugger

Ÿ	Start with		the letter Q.
Ÿ	Are	followed		by	a 2- or 3-character internal component identifier.
Ÿ	Can	be up	to	30	characters.

ŸAre case sensitive.
