APIs for the Integrated Language Environment
The Integrated Language Environment (ILE) model is a set of tools and associated
system support designed to enhance program development on an AS/400 system.
Bindable ILE APIs are independent from the high-level languages. This can be
useful when mixed languages are involved.
The ILE APIs provide functions such as:
Dynamic screen management (DSM)
National language support
Mail server framework
Problem management
Programming and control language (CL)
Registration facility
Source debugger
ILE APIs use the following naming conventions:
Start with the letter Q.
Are followed by a 2- or 3-character internal component identifier.
Can be up to 30 characters.
Are case sensitive.
ILE service programs (*SRVPGM) use the following naming conventions:
Start with the letter Q.
Are followed by a 2- or 3-character internal component identifier.
Are limited to 8 characters.
Are uppercase.

APIs for the ILE Common Execution Environment (CEE)
The ILE APIs with names beginning with CEE are based on the SAA language
environment specifications. These APIs are intended to be consistent across the
IBM SAA systems. CEE APIs with names beginning with CEE4 or CEES4 are spe-
cific to AS/400 business computing systems.
The ILE CEE APIs provide functions such as:
Activation group and control flow management
Condition management
Date and time manipulation
