I'm pretty proud to say that at my previous job, our team
developed a GUI order processing system that the users loved.
What did you use for the GUI? Visual Basic? Java (Swing or AWT)? Screen Scraper? HTML?
I promote browser technology for applications, but must admit that I've never created a browser-based GUI that offered the same level of keyboard support that's available in green-screen applications.
The most resistence I've seen to GUI was with screen-scraper products. My daughter has a part-time job at a bank, and was given the option of using a green-screen interface or a (JWalk or NewLook) GUI interface. She chose green-screen for performance reasons, and made the decision without any input from me.
I think I could create a data-entry screen using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that could rival 5250 performance and keyboard support, but must admit that it would take a lot more work than using DSPF DDS. On the other hand, if I were to go to the trouble, I'd probably create a generic JavaScript library that could be applied to any browser-based data-entry form.
Nathan.
