SYSTEM

The SYSTEM call interface convention is the standard calling convention for the Microsoft Windows application programming interface. Unlike CDECL, the called program, instead of the calling program, cleans the stack.

The following rules apply to SYSTEM:

When building export or import lists in module definition files, use the decorated version of the name. If you use undecorated names in the module definition file, you must give the object files to the ILIB utility along with the module definition file. ILIB will use the object files to determine how each name ended up after decoration.
