Vern just a small correction.  

With v5r3 the iSeries now supports SQL partitioned tables.  How may you ask?
By using multi-member files!

What's cool is that the partitioning is behind the scenes, using an SQL
interface it looks like one big file.  The native I/O interface continues to
deal with the multi-member file as it always has.
