RE: Looking for documentation on API replacements using SQL functions / tables -- MIDRANGE-L

I believe that
select *
from qsys2.services_info
order by earliest_possible_release desc
;
Only shows you what you may have on your system, not what is available if you've upgraded or updated PTFs. It's not like the qsys2.group_ptf_currency which compares your group ptfs to the latest version available at IBM.

The SERVICES_INFO table in the QSYS2 schema includes information (including examples and the earliest possible release) for all Db2 and IBM i Services.
The documentation for all Db2 and IBM i Services can be found under Performance and Query Optimization (in the Information Center)
Db2 for i Services -
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzajq/rzajqservices
db2.htm
IBM i Services -
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzajq/rzajqservices
sys.htm

You will also find a lot of examples within ACS - Run SQL Scripts - Edit - Insert from Examples

Subject: Looking for documentation on API replacements using SQL functions / tables

I recently stumbled over "select * from QSYS2.ASP_INFO" as a way of getting ASP information. Sooooo much easier than using the QYASPOL API.

Is there somewhere that these API replacement functions are documented and that hopefully includes what release they showed up in? I'm looking for some kind of high level function list that I can read through and then drill down from there if I see something I need.
