Hello Peter,

Don't forget SQL injection problems. Even a program that uses a 5250 display file can have malicious, non-arbitrary data in field if it happens to be used as part of a WHERE clause

Yes. This is part of the "verify your input" mantra. :-)

I meant 5250 being secure in the way that I expect the fixed field size automatically preventing buffer overflows, and the emulator programs (and terminals) most often not allow to insert arbitrary characters, such as a NUL character. It's still possible to (ab)use Alt+three-digit-number on PC platforms to insert characters not available trough normal keystrokes.

Hope this clarifies my point. :-)

:wq! PoC
