And that is where my confusion on your statement comes from!  I was always
dealing with RPG.

Bob,

    This is the way its been as long as I can remember.  All of my
(really) old MI stuff uses binary fields for math.

    Binary support in OPM RPG was NOT faster; however, it was way
slower.  Check out the generated MI for binary field math and you'll
see why immediately.
