There was just a shocking, brief non-specific message sent out from
"Headquarters" about moving from our home-grown RPG (non free form, real
old school), to SAP sent out today.
1. Does SAP run natively on OS400/V5R3?
2. Does it not in fact cost a few kajilliion dollars?
3. What is the licensing scheme (per site/seat/concurrent user, etc.)?
4. Does even maintenance/support in fact cost a few kajilliion dollars?
5. Does it run on DB2?
6. If we want customization, are we asking for a world of never ending
pain & payment (in a cost range of a few kajilliion dollars)? 
7. If we want customization, are upgrades a real bitch to pull off?
8. For those of you who are current users, what is your satisfaction
level (1 - Like dying & going to Hell, 10 - Like dying & going to
Heaven)?
9. How did it affect your programming staff if say you migrated from a
home-grown RPG system like ours to SAP? Did the conversion include early
retirement offers and/or directions on how to leave the premises like a
fire drill?
