Try Google.com and put in "SYSTEM API REFERENCE".   I always use goggle.com
when searching for IBM books and I find it quite good.

Rant mode on,

The AS400 Info Center SUCKS with a capital SUCKS!!!! Where the HELL are the
books? All I want is the System API Reference in a somewhat printable form.
I'm tired of spending hours looking for information that used to be at my
fingertips. I'm about ready to bail  from IBM  platforms and do something
else. Everytime they "enhance" something, it becomes 10x more complicated.

 I have the MSDN Library. You get all of the docs on one DVD complete with
an intuitive interface and it automatically binds itself with the help
system in their development products. How many threads have been started on
these very lists about CODE or VARPG help not working.
Come on IBM, swallow your pride and take a look at how MS is doing things.
They are getting it right.
