Hello Bob, The MI Functional Reference is currently only available as hardcopy - V4R5 version being the latest. I recently heard from IBM that they were working on making it available at the Information Center but didn't - at that time - know when it would happen. The MI builtins are documented in the Functional Reference - for every MI instruction having a builtin version there's a "Bound program access" box with builtin specifics in the beginning of the section describing that instruction.
