Doesn't RPGOA just intercept the 5250 data stream, not eliminate it. you
still use the same opcodes, just override what processes them. I may be
mistaken about how it works under the covers.

It certainly sounds like you are open to a vendor solution, so I would
like to recommend you to take a look at our offerings.
http://www.profoundlogic.com
We have our Genie product which can "scrape" the 5250 data stream and
allow you to make enhancements. Of course we also offer our Profound UI
suite which is RPGOA based for eliminating the 5250 data stream all
together.
Let me know if you might have any questions and I will be glad to chat
with you about it.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Is HATS still a viable solution?
I've been tasked with running our shipping system, currently a barcode
scanner with a 5250 application, as a web page that could be easily run on
an android scanning device. I'm having trouble weeding through the
different solutions and the real advantages and disadvantages to the
different ways to get there. What I recall looking very attractive, some
years ago, was IBM HATS (host access tranformation service). I remember
it having some sort of per user licensing. I've also seen IBM products
fade away from support (ie. Infoprint Server) and I haven't heard a lot of
marketing behind HATS. Is this still an attractive product to accomplish
a screen scrape with some possible minor modifications to the display? Are
there better solutions now for accomplishing this without requiring a lot
of web design knowledge?
