And definitely slower for heads-down data entry. Web is eye-based,
mouse-based, so unless you design the presentation very carefully, it will
be slower for this type of use. Of course, we maybe don't do heads-down, 40
people in a room at keypunch machines anymore!

Abandon the green screen, using web allows a lot more flexibility, it is
graphics, easy to use, no limit to the parameters, you can do wide reports,
prints very nice, etc.
A lot better.

Soapbox:
It's sad that we are forced to deal with holdovers from long, long ago.
One example: the limit on command prompts lives on today--it's from the
days of the System/38's 16x64 console. If more customers had

this one annoyance.
Every executable I deploy has a green-screen command interface; this
manual and automated unit testing demonstrably easier (especially forparameters
service programs). Every batch job executes a command and some
are conditionally prompted. Trying to fit a meaningful description in 30wrote:

With SQL objects this is already possible, and sometime in the future,
maybe we will be able to do everything using only SQL, which would be
fantastic.
What about in the meantime we could have expanded the current 10-char
system object name length to something longer?
This is one item on my wish list, and I could also consider including
