Re: AS/400 MI Functional Reference

A bit late (I am soooo far behind on my email), but you are correct about
several MI functions being replaced by APIs. There was a major effort (I
believe in 6.1 though it's been so long...) to contact known users of MI
and to provide APIs (callable and exit points) so that the functions
provided by their programs would continue to run. That's why there are some
APIs that might make you wonder "what in the world".

I didn't even know they put the MI reference online. I guess that answers
my question about my paper version having any value.

Several of the MI programs I created no longer run or compile (I forget
which, it's been several years) because the default authority levels on
newer systems blocks them, and I'm not going put up a fight to be able to
use them. Also, I think some of them have been obsoleted by new APIs.

I miss Leif as well. Those were fun times.
