AFIAK, ILE doesn't exist anywhere but the 400...  so being a 400
programmer and ILE are not mutually exclusive :)

'EnvData@' isn't defined anywhere in this program!   This shouldn't even
compile...

The prototype is okay, but change the rest of the program to look more
like this:

  C     *entry        plist
  C                   parm                    envlibr          16
  C                   eval      envlibr = %Str(GetEnv('GALFLIBR'))
  C                   eval      *inlr = *On
  C                   return

What I'm doing is using the %Str function (which works similarly to
options(*string) ,except it goes the other direction) to convert the
results of GetEnv from C string format to RPG.

Also, make sure you pass a parameter to this program, or it'll crash
with the 'pointer or parameter' error.   Make sure also that you
bind your program to the QC2LE binding directory.

Hope that helps... I don't have an AS/400 handy to test it out :(
but it should be very close, I've called GetEnv without any problems
before...
