Re: How many of you will stay at V7R5 lower due to SDA removal ?

I agree to replace the green screen with web is not hard, but it requires
to read a book, or take a class.

I remember a book that was written back in 2000 that showed you how to
easily convert your applications to web interfaces. And after that a
couple very easy to use applications came out that made it even easier...
both at very low cost.

What was that book called again? ;)

We all would like an easy path to modernization of the UI - IBM has

many different paths over the years and, IMHO, failed miserably in all
cases. Vendors who have committed to the various paths have suffered

for

it. Many elected to leave the platform compltely because IBM abandoned
their own failed initiative.

Wouldn't it be nice if IBM could just come up with a real solution to
replace 5250 altogether? It would have to be something everyone could

get

behind - definitely a tall task.

We've Modernized our screens with the Presto Add-on. No green screen

to

end uses, but it does require the 5250 data stream. If you want to
push your remaining dedicated base off a platform IBM, eliminate 5250.
