  • Release Levels for IBM i Services (SQL)
    by Alan Seiden on 2025-04-25 at 16:51

    IBM i Services are a growing, innovative use of SQL on the IBM i platform. These services are SQL-based functions and views that provide convenient access to system functionality. For example, VS Code for i uses the LIBRARY_INFO table function. Because these SQL-based services are added and enhanced over time, each service has an operating system release and Group PTF level at which it became available. Our LIBRARY_INFO example was provided in IBM i 7.3 with Group PTF SF99703, Level 18, and enhanced with  SF99703 Level 22. For IBM i 7.4, it was SF99704, Level 7, and enhanced with SF99704 Level… The post Release Levels for IBM i Services (SQL) appeared first on Seiden Group.
