One option would be to export the 150 tables (or a subset of their data)
as Excel spreadsheets then use the Create iSeries Database File button
on the iSeries Access Data Transfer to process each file as a BIFF8(MS
Excel 8). This would require that your access variable names have
acceptable iSeries values (ten characters or less, no spaces, etc.). If
the variable names are good, this utility will create a file description
file first then create an externally described file on the iSeries and
allow you to upload the data into it.

It may be a bit time consuming for 150 files but less so than printing
the layouts and creating DDS files.

Subject: Moving Access Data files up to Iseries

All, I have over 150 2003 access database files that I need to copy up
to our Iseries system, in the past I would print screen the file layout
of the database and create the same database on the Iseries, but this
time as you can see I have a lot more to do, does anybody have a easy
way of copying these database up. Any suggestion will be helpful.
