The financial hit should be minimal. I am not an expert on this ... the place where the experts on this hang out are on the forums moderated by the AS/400 trade publications. Second idea ... seek a screen scraper tool such as Seagull so that you can have a Client/Server version of your custom RPG program, running on the hardware that is now at the new warehouse.
