Well, DDS support is there, even if you have to use DBU/DFU to key the specs. 
 I'm pretty sure that RUNSQLSTM is available as well.  There is a problem 
with the DBA as usually defined in an AS/400 environment, though.  Most 
AS/400 shops don't know what a DBA is supposed to do, and often hire people 
for the job that are equally clueless.
