This document guides you through the new installation of a CallAPI for MPE.

A CallAPI for MPE is supplied with AE. This interface can be used to execute calls in AE from your own programs, which can be written in programming languages such as C, C++, or COBOL. In addition, the utility UCXBMP6C can be used for command line calls or in executable files.
