lol... I want to be clear, too. Actually, I pretty much agree with
Jon. 5250 and OS/2 are never coming back. Their day in the sun has
come and gone, same as mine. Selling text-based anything today is not
a good business plan.
On the other hand I am seeing companies promising to be off that old
stuff by the end of the year... well maybe the middle of next year. I
first heard that song 25 years ago, and it's still being sung. Nothing
wrong with doing the stuff we can easily do. Is there? Give existing
staff a ramp to the future; let them work through this new stuff at
their own speed. They have a lot of tribal knowledge, and that has
value and we can honor it.

Just to be 100% clear on my position. I am NOT saying throw away all 5250. I AM saying that efforts to make them do things they were never intended to do when there are other better ways is a waste of energy.
