Do you have an in-house RPG programming staff that knows your application? 
 If so you may want to evaluate one of the Visual RPG packages. Nina on 
this list uses and likes the ASNA product, I use and like IBM Visual Age 
RPG.  In either case your RPG programmers can be writing true 
client/server code in a couple of days.

I would caution you, do not plan on just converting the green screens to 
GUI though.  Doing so is a good learning exercise but that is all.  After 
a couple of tries you realize the entire user front-end is different and 
you will scrap conversion plans.  My own experience though, was that the 
data, the file designs and layouts, the application flows, and the whole 
security paradigm is already in place and worth keeping.

Hello ! All,

We  are software consulting/development company marketing ERP  package for
apparel industry to major apparel
manufacturers in US/Europe.  The package is written in RPGIII. The company 
is
planning to rewrite package in order to
move away from Geen scrren look that does not sell anymore.  We want to 
add GUI
to the package but want to stay on AS/400. We have already invested lot of
effort and money to emulate GUI  using some packages that basically takes 
your
green screen and make it look like GUI screen. It does not work and is not 
user
freindly. Please suggest what  language/direction we should go. We want to 
keep
AS/400 as backend.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Uday
