Re: WRKSYSACT(Is IBM trying to kill green screen on theAS/400?)

I had been trying with VA for RPG for a while, and it has been fun.  Most of
our shop is "old geezer's" :) by old I mean people who doesn't get impress
for the look but for the practicality of an application. (ages between 25
and 40 but the newest on IS is an 25 Year old guy with 9+ year experience)
BTW, I'm not trying to start an GUI vs. Green screen war.  But, you have to
use the right tool for the right job.  And, from an programmer point of
view.  Is a lot easier and faster to create an green screen program than it
is a GUI one.  Everybody can program and design in GUI,  but we still rather
choose the 5250 interface for the "real" work. :)

I haven't looked into this product in any detail, but recall reading
something about Jacada Innovator (?) having the ability to convert your
DDS to C/S and thereby using the batch processors instead of the
interactive feature and saving a bundle.
