I tried this back in the dark ages and didn't succeed either. As I recall, 
I got the menus to display, but couldn't get back out of them. Why not 
convert the menus to native AS/400 objects. They can still execute OCL 
procedures if the 36EE is active. The display files are relatively easy to 
convert with CVTS36DSPF. The command text needs to be re-keyed (S36 puts it 
in the second level text, AS/400 uses first level) unless you feel like 
writing a program to convert the S36 menu command source to ADDMSGD 
commands. In a prior life I wrote such a program, and it's not difficult to 
do. Sorry, I don't have the program, but if you have a large number of S36 
menus, I can put you in touch with the company that does.
