Further information
The System/38 environment allows the execution of most programs written for a
System/38 system. The same job can execute any combination of iSeries or
System/38 programs. The programmer menu on the iSeries supports source
types to enable the identification of System/38 syntax. The programmer can
maintain either iSeries or System/38 programs during the same job.

System Openness Includes (5722-SS1 Option 13)

System Openness Includes provides developers with header files for the many
callable APIs and exits found in OS/400. The header files are provided in a
high-level language source for application development in languages such as C,
C++, OPM RPG, ILE RPG, OPM COBOL, and ILE COBOL. They provide for
easier access to many of the functions found in OS/400.
The Pthread APIs are based on open APIs described in the ANSI/IEEE Standard
1003.1, 1996 edition (also known as ISO/IEC 9945-1: 1996) and the Single UNIX
Specification, Version 2, 1997 standards.
