I would suspect that any method you select is going to involve some major
changes in your code. For example, if your current code "chains" out to
ThisFile and now you move ThisFile to Informix or SQL Server I really
doubt that you won't have to modify and recompile your program simply by
changing the physical ThisFile with CRTDDMF to the gateway pc and get the
same data and no level check.

This is one of those cases where you are better off externalizing I/O.
Replace the "chain ThisFile" with "MyDS=GetMyData(); and subprocedure
GetMyData could have the simple chain (if still on i), a CONNECT TO (if on
Informix), or the JDBC action (if using SQL Server).
