>Does anyone know why the product runs as an interactive session?

Technical for the moment.  Lest this devolve into a flame war against the
interactive CPU limit, yes, I know that the technical reason is in essence
an artificial marketing limit imposed by hardware (interactive feature
card.)

"Technical" because the RPG program is performing I/O against the 5250
datastream.  Only inside the internal OS/400 5250 handlers, there's a switch
to send the output to the servlet engine instead of the workstation
controller.  As far as the system knows, the I/O is 5250.

"For the moment" because IBM have been saying that they want to make it part
of the batch workload in the future.
