Copying export files
Use this information to copy the export files from the system running IBM i to an AIX® directory.
The export files, located in the following IBM i directory, are the suggested way to build your applications that require access to IBM i system-specific functions:
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/PASE/lib
You can copy these files to any AIX directory. Use the -bI: option on the AIX ld command (or compiler command) to define symbols not found in the shared libraries on the AIX system.
PASE for i provides the following export files.
| Export file | Function |
|---|---|
| as400_libc.exp | This file is the export file for IBM i system-unique functions
in libc.a. The as400_libc.exp file defines all the exports from the PASE for i version of libc.a that are not exported by the AIX versions of those libraries. |
| libdb400.exp | This file is the export file for IBM i database functions. The libdb400.exp file defines the exports from the PASE for i libdb400.a library (Db2® for i call level interfaces (CLIs) support). |
