What I meant, was whether a request for a functional enhancement would lead
to a change to both display file and java objects?  A new field is added, or
a function key is added to branch to another screen, or field grouping is
changed, or tab order is changed, or something of that sort?  In other
words, if it takes one hour per year to maintain a 5250 display, will it
take one plus hours to maintain both 5250 display and java objects?

My understanding was that a single JSP produced a single page.  Am I off
base?  Does a JSP produce part of a page?  I guess so, because according to
Buck, Webfacing produces a JSP for every record format.  And multiple record
formats are output on a screen.
