According to me, IBM does not support OS/400 anymore.

Anything considered proprietary to the old system AS/400 is not updated or 
enhanced.

The native RDBM, integrated part of the OS, has been replaced with DB2 and its 
SQL.
Enhancements to data types in the RDBM are only supported in SQL, not in DDS.
Configuration of TCP/IP, ported to the AS/400, can not be done on the AS/400 
(or iSeries) with appropriate CL commands.

Just my two Euro cents.
