Good Greif,

when do you stop discussing the code that connects the RPG program to the
handler and
starts to discuss the the code in the handler that handles the GUI ?

Well, in my mind, there shouldn't be a handler. Green screen 5250 programs should just be one flavor of UI, all of which call common non-UI business logic. Then the UI code is whatever you want it to be. The idea of a middleware between 5250 and graphical is a decade too late.

Instead, I'd rather see OAR used to wrap existing 5250 program and present them as services. That was something I was toying with back in the early days of PSC/400. That way you could immediately provide external access to your business logic, while laying a foundation for rewriting.
