On the contrary.  The APIs were developed so that you could be level 40
compliant.  By way of background, many ISVs called IBM programs in QSYS
directly to make their systems run quickly.  The command interface is
relatively slow.  As security in QSYS is controlled at the command level,
and not at the program level, this proved to be unacceptable security for
some users.  The APIs were developed to be user callable.  (APIs are *USER
domain, QSYS CPPs are *SYSTEM domain.)  Level 40 prohibits you from calling
*SYSTEM domain programs.
