Walden,

I think the fact that the drop down boxes for status fields are
automatically generated from the external values list file that the 5250
uses for validation is important to note. It's not taken from the DDS,
meaning the multiple language support is far easier (this is a big win for
me!). This tool is far more than a screen scraper, and I think Rory does
himself an injustice when he calls it that. The integration with the base
tool is another strength that I doubt aXes could get close to.

Just my opinion :-)

Crispin.
