Re: 5250 to Web Interface / Application Modernization


In your example, the problem is aesthetics, and the perception of 5250
being outdated. The goal would be to eliminate that problem, most likely
by moving to a web UI.


To clarify my position, I would suggest that adding a "web UI" to a 5250
code base makes the problem worse. Legacy applications need fundamental
architectural changes. Unfortunately, that kind of understanding requires
experience that most legacy developers don't really relate to - until they
gain experience with something better.
