Running IBM i commands from IBM PASE for i

You can extend the capabilities of your PASE for i program by running control language (CL) commands that use IBM® i functions.

Use the systemCL runtime function to run an IBM i command from within an PASE for i program.
When you run IBM i commands from PASE for i the systemCL runtime function handles ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion of character string arguments, and lets you call the program in a different job.
