Is the history file still having records added, or is it a historical file?

In any event why not a one-shot, and move the data to a properly designed normalized data base and then deal with it as you wish? Thats got to be a lot easier than what you are looking at. Even if the file is still having records added, you could insert a trigger that moved the data to a modern database?

Has anyone worked with the JSON/XML support in DB2? I'm thinking about using it in a project and am looking for insights.

In a nutshell:
My order history data is in a multi-format S/36 file (not sure the exact terminology). The format makes SQL incredibly difficult, and I'm looking for a way to make ad-hoc queries easier. I tried extracting it into DB2 tables. I ended up with five tables before I started looking for other options. From what I've read, I can extract each order into a JSON or XML document, store it in DB2 table, and then run queries over the DB2 table.

Thanks
