I am not an expert but I can't see any reason. MI programming is
OPM(Original Program Model), not ILE. Anything you can do in MI you can do
in ILE C. As far as I know all the MI functions can be called from C. As
far as the MI to RPGLE you can call MI functions from RPGLE. MI functions
can just be faster(Like cpybytes) or do things like User Queues that can
only be accessed through MI functions.
