That's because all screen scrapers (or, as they like to bill themselves,
"non-intrusive" legacy interfaces) have the same common failing: they
require interactive CPW.  And since IBM has just reduced your interactive
tax choice to "all" or "none", unless you're willing to budget the full
interactive cost, you can't use a screen scraper.  So, the price of a screen
scraper is the cost of the product PLUS the cost of the full interactive
feature.

Apologies - I am a still a novice IBM'er but doesn't the IBM sales strategy for the iSeries pretty much make the interactive vs batch arguament almost obsolete?

(apologies if this is a network members article and you cannot access it)

What are peoples thoughts on the affects of this change in strategy on "non-intrusive" legacy interface pricing?
