I disagree with the last statement. The 400 can be just as easy. But to
those who love
the 36, a few user commands can give the 36 users most of their "look &
feel".
I built an attention key screen, with options like "D P" (display spool) and
when
selected run the wrksplf command. In a day, the users were used to the new
system.
Also, I think S36EE will be around as long as 5250 is. M36 fit the need for
a long time,
but like Officevision, is a hefty amount of code to maintain for zero
revenue.
What IBM ought to do is offer some big incentives to get companies to come
up to
the 250/270/820. It's not that hard to move from M36 to S36EE.
