• _ILEKILL() (Send ILE Signal for IBM PASE for i) invokes the ILE kill function to send an ILE signal to a process or process group.
• _ILELOADX and _ILELOAD (Load an ILE Bound Program for IBM PASE for i) loads (activates) an ILE-bound program.
• _ILESYMX and _ILESYM (Find an Exported ILE Symbol for IBM PASE for i) finds an exported symbol in the activation of an ILE-bound program and returns a 16-byte tagged pointer to the data or procedure for the symbol.
• _MEMCPY_WT and _MEMCPY_WT2 (Copy Memory With Tags for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to copy memory with tagged pointers.
• _OPEN_CCSID (Open With CCSID for IBM PASE for i) opens a file with CCSID tagging.
• _PGMCALL (Call an IBM^® i Program for IBM PASE for i) calls an IBM i program (object type *PGM) from an IBM PASE for i program.
• _RETURN (Return without Exiting IBM PASE for i) returns to the ILE called that called IBM PASE for i in this job, without exiting the IBM PASE for i program.
• _RSLOBJ and _RSLOBJ2 (Resolve to an IBM i Object for IBM PASE for i) resolves to an IBM i object.
• _SETCCSID (Set IBM PASE for i CCSID) retrieves and sets the IBM PASE for i Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) value.
• _SETSPP (Set Space Pointer for IBM PASE for i) sets a tagged space pointer to the teraspace equivalent of an IBM PASE for i memory address.
• _SETSPP_TS64 (Set Space Pointer for IBM PASE for i) sets a space pointer from teraspace address for IBM PASE for i .
• _SETSPPM (Set Multiple Space Pointers for IBM PASE for i) Sets multiple space pointers for IBM PASE for i .
• _STRLEN_SPP (Determine Character String Length for IBM PASE for i) determines the length of a null-terminated character string.
• _STRNCPY_SPP (Copy Character String for IBM PASE for i) copies a null-terminated character string.
• build_ILEarglist (Build an ILE Argument List for IBM PASE for i) builds an ILE argument list using argument values copied from an IBM PASE for i function with the same signature.
• fork400 and f_fork400 (Create a New Process with IBM PASE for i Options) creates a new (child) process that is an almost exact copy of the calling (parent) process.
• QMHRCVM and QMHRCVM1 (Receive Nonprogram Message for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to receive a message from a nonprogram message queue.
• QMHRCVPM, QMHRCVPM1, and QMHRCVPM2 (Receive Program Message for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to receive a message from a program call message queue or from the job external message queue.
• QMHSNDM and QMHSNDM1 (Send Nonprogram Message for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to send a message to a nonprogram message queue so it can communicate with another job or user.
• QMHSNDPM, QMHSNDPM1, and QMHSNDPM2 (Send Program Message for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to send a message to a program call message queue or to the job external message queue.
• Qp2jobCCSID (Retrieve Job CCSID for IBM PASE for i) returns the job default CCSID from the last time the IBM PASE for i CCSID was set.
• Qp2paseCCSID (Retrieve IBM PASE for i CCSID) returns the IBM PASE for i CCSID from the last time the IBM PASE for i CCSID was set.
• Qp2setenv_ile (Set ILE Environment Variables for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to set ILE environment variables.
• size_ILEarglist (Compute ILE Argument List Size for IBM PASE for i) computes the number of bytes of memory required to build an ILE argument list.
• SQLOverrideCCSID400 (Override SQL CLI CCSID for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to specify a CCSID for character arguments and results on SQL runtime functions.
• systemCL (Run a CL Command for IBM PASE for i) allows an IBM PASE for i program to run a CL command.
