Found the answer to my question in an article from IT Jungle, August 29,
2005.     It tells me what I feared, DB2/400 does not have DB2 Cube
Views as do the other DB2s.   Oh, well...

"DB2 Cube Views does not today run on iSeries, and that is one area
that IBM
is considering bringing new software to OS/400 in the wake of DB2 OLAP
Server for iSeries, Wozniak says. "I think we're certainly interested
in looking
at a comprehensive warehousing solution on iSeries that looks a lot
like the
ones we have on pSeries and Linux," he says. "That probably implies
something very similar to CubeViews, or some analog to it if not the
actual
product."
However don't take DB2 Cube Views running natively on OS/400 as gospel
yet, since IBM hasn't formally announced any plans to do this; but,
that said,
now is the time to let IBM know you want native support if you do, so
it can
get to work on it now rather than later. Keep in mind, too, that IBM's
future
data warehousing offerings for the iSeries may not be entirely
OS/400-based,
since the iSeries is no longer itself solely OS/400-based. IBM can run
AIX and
Linux programs natively now. So Big Blue is looking at whether it can
run
certain components of the solution, such as DB2 Cube Views Advisor
component, which specifies how views of queries should be laid out
within the
OLAP tool, in a Linux partition."

Thanks to anyone that contributed.
