RE: Tierred pricing (was Tiger tools...)

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

how are programs that run interactivly, but do not have any screen I/O (ie
no 5250 datastream is generated) handled.  Is it counted as batch or
interactive?

Thde way I understand it, Brad, is that whenever you use one of the 5250 I/O
service programs, a bit is set in your job denoting it as "interactive".
FAST400 works by constantly interrogating the bits in all your system jobs
and setting this flag off.  Revitalization avoids this by not using 5250 I/O
at all, but instead replacing it with calls to an API.

At the HLL level.  The revitalization architecture works for COBOL, RPG or
CL - any language in fact that uses a display file.  The conversion part of
PSC400 only works with RPG and ILE RPG today, but that may change depennding
on demand.
