Phil,

  We are previously a small mainframe shop and are converting to two
AS/400s.  We have access to both RPG and Cobol, being most recently
familiar with Cobol which does not do XOR simply.  It sounds like the MI
instruction is just what the doctor ordered.  Can you point me in the
right direction to get started with the MI program - is everything I
need already on the system; what book contains the instruction set and
formats?

Thanks again,

Terry
