I understand, and agree with, all that you say Vern.   MY only point is that 5250 has moved on from the 1980s.  Shouldn't we, too?

"going to the web" doesn't necessarily mean rewrite everything with JQuery.- there are products that can leverage existing skills with screens and add things one could never do in 5250.

I don't want this to become a religious war on this stuff - just that the phrase can mean different modalities. From a complete rewrite in PHP to screen-scraping with customization options.

With a product to help, then concerns about GWT and XML and touch-control and all become moot - any product worth its salt will adjust to what is happening, methinks.

Cheers
