Re: MI Programming

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

There was and is NO API for the functionality I wanted.  Interestingly
enough when I asked some of the security dept folks at common in Chicago I
was accosted as being a "hacker" for even knowing that the stuff existed.
Frankly, what we needed to do (due to lacking functionality in fax/400)
was be able to do a prtdoc *prev but I needed to KNOW what the *prev doc
was cuz I had to transfer it from machine to machine (client had O/V on
Mach-A and fax on Mach-B).  There is NO security breach retrieving this
info and we had a valid need for it and yes I'ld rather have it in a API
so that it's supported...but we had to have a quickie MI routine to get
this info so we could pass it along to a CL pgm...

What was even funnier was that right after this mess, I had a rather well
known name in the 400 industry walk up to me and say that they wanted to
get a simular API but wanted to UPDATE the area as well...go figure...:)

Anyway, if you're READING there's no updates...and that's all we were
needing....ergo, no dft fldr changes, etc...
