ODBC vs Java -- MIDRANGE-L

I work for a non profit organization that has a small F10. We may be forced
to upgrade by IBM to a Model 170 because they are ceasing support on V3R2.
The primary use of the F10 is to run Computer Guidance's CMS software. We
also have a need to develop a application that tracks our client's
property, incomes, demographics, and disabilites. This application consits
of 30 tables and 15 screens. All the users want a GUI interface. What are
the pros and cons of developing this application in Java vs Visual
Basic(with ODBC to 400)? Assume we have a Model 170 because I would not
attempt this with our current F10. Thanks for all of your help.
