For a gui file editor, will iSeries Navigator work? Don't know if it has undelete capabilities that some of the shareware has, like WRKDBF. There's a Quantum plug in for WDSC that you can download. I don't know if it has all the function you are looking for. I always get confused on the webfacing vs. 5250 issue. At first I thought that if you paid for the unlimited 5250 tax by buying the enterprise edition then webfacing stopped running in Interactive, and ran elsewhere. Which is the part that confused me, why only move it out of interactive, when it doesn't matter anymore?

The additional cost ($70K - 100K) of going to an i5 enterprise edition has us seriously looking at choosing an i5 standard edition. Lawson's ERP suite is the primary application being hosted on the iSeries with a small amount (200 DSPFs) of homegrown 5250 programs that are mostly parameter entry front-ends to batch jobs. There are a few other third-party utility applications like the EZView file editor, and EasyMenu in the mix but thats it. The 60 CPW of interactive offered by an express edition would be sufficient for the 5250 workload but the batch/non-5250 requirements are in the 2400-3300 CPW range so that eliminates the express edition. The users currently access the Lawson applications through Lawson's LID interface which is a GUI that does not use the 5250 data stream. Additionally, with the upgrade to Lawson 8.0 the user interface will be through Lawson's portal. The 5250 programs can be dealt with either by Webfacing or CGIDEV2. That only leaves a couple of "green screen" utilities to deal with. My first question is have you moved from an enterprise to a standard edition and did you find any unexpected problems that had to be addressed? Secondly, do you know of any non-5250 replacements for a file editor like EZView and a menu system like EasyMenu? Finally, Is there a redbook or other source that gives guidance for moving to a totally non-5250 environment?
