Gary:

We have a conversion utility that does this type of work.  Bring over
the S/36 data dictionary files or the F & I specs to the AS/400, restore
the data files themselves and then by using our utility, Intelligent
Data Conversion System, IDCS you will get externally described AS/400
files.  Not only that, you will be able to map your existing data to the
version of BPCS that you are going to without writing data conversion
programs.  If you want more info. give me a call at 708-795-0606.  I
work for Data Summary, Inc..  Probably 20-30 companies have used our
tool to map their data into BPCS.
