We use both TestDrive and TestBench.  They're decent products, work pretty much as advertised.

In a former life (probably 5-6 years aga) I used TestDrive from Original 
Software.  It was not cheap but we were a large company.  It did support 
5250 record and playback, though from their site they have no branched 
out to other platforms.

Something where we could enter a set of keystrokes and have the system or PC go through testing automatically? It would simulate user keystrokes in an interactive mode, and could be used to create test files for batch jobs.
