I know.

But we spent an huge amount of time and money to escape from the green screen stigma and I get hives when I read these threads.

Let me get this straight. Your opinion is based on a huge amount of spent money to escape a stigma, which was pushed by IBM and some people. Both suggesting that modernization is just about GUI. That equation apparently didn't work out at large for the platform. And now you get hives when reading messages where 5250 is put into positive light.

Only to escape a stigma? Or to add some value to using the existing applications? Are your hives really about 5250, or about a possible fear to have been wrong spending lots of money for more or less crudely "GUIfying" 5250 applications? Possibly with mediocre results?

Just asking…

:wq! PoC
