CL Programming


Objects and Libraries

Objects are the basic units on which commands perform operations. For example, programs and files are objects. Through objects you can find, maintain, and process your data on the iSeries server. You need only know what object and what function (command) you want to use; you do not need to know the storage address of your data to use it.

Note:
Objects can reside in both libraries and directories. (Previously, an object could reside only in a library.) This chapter contains information only about objects residing in libraries. See the Integrated File System topics in the Database and File Systems category of information of the iSeries Information Center for information on directories.

This chapter includes General-Use Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.
