Recently I joined this group, and read about SAA defunct, and OS/2 implementation, etc.
(somewhat off-topic) I seem to remember that around 1994 I got involved in the then-new SAP R/3. It struck me that client/server communication errors were labeled CPICnnn, hinting at the Common Programming Interface for Commmunication, a part of SAA I knew from the late eighties. The user screen layout seemed very much to adhere tot CUA guidelines, another part of SAA. By 2005 these characteristics were still there in SAP, might even survive today. OS/2 was gone by 2005 ;-(
To conclude: there was/is an SAA aplication: it's called SAP.
As a software archaeotect I like to recover these things while being retired.
