5250 isn't exactly like CGI, in most cases.  The Job
boundaries are the main difference.

But, I've written apps in 5250 written transactionally that
also could benifit from holding temporary records.  Using
data queues.  That way you have one server program that
reads info from a data queue, and does updates when
triggered.  Then there's always one job doing the db
updates, and CC is no problem.  Works for 5250, CGI, pretty
much anything.
