Re: Differences between CL/400 and ILE/CL

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

TFRCTL is not valid in an ILE program, so you can't use that/

RCLRSC behaves differently under ILE than under OPM. Check out the ILE
Concepts book, under Programming in InfoCenter.

ILE opens CL to function otherwise not available. There's an article on the
knowledge base about using the CEE date/time functions, which can only be
used in ILE. There are other APIs available this way, including math
functions, etc.

The modular nature of ILE is a benefit, although it takes time to make it
happen effectively, and needs planning.
