EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
System words are a set of words that provide special functionality:
- A system function runs code and may return a value; for
example:
- sysLib.minimum(arg1, arg2) returns
the minimum of two numbers
- sysLib.setLocale(language,
country) does not return a value but dynamically changes the
Java locale used in a Web-based application
- A system variable provides a value without invoking a
function; for example:
- sysVar.errorCode contains a status code after your
program accesses a file and in other situations
- sysVar.sqlcode contains a status code after your program
accesses a relational database
For details, see System words in alphabetical order or see one
of the other lists.
