5250 Enterprise Enablement
The IBM i entitlement that unlocks unrestricted 5250 green-screen interactive workload, bundled into the P20 and P30 subscription editions.
Historically a separately priced feature, 5250 Enterprise Enablement is now bundled into the P20 and P30 Standard/Enterprise Edition subscriptions. IBM's own crossover analysis puts the value breakeven at roughly 4 years for P20 and 6 years for P30 compared to buying it separately at the unbundled subscription rate.
