No, Java classes that descend from InputStream never have a readLine()
method.  That's because they read bytes instead of characters.  First you
have to convert them to read characters, by wrapping them in an
InputStreamReader, then if you want to read a line at a time you wrap that
in a BufferedReader.  Thus:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new
IFSFileInputStream("/whatever")));

This is nothing to do with AS/400, it's standard Java procedure on any
system.

It is a text file on IFS.  I tried to use IFSFile,IFSFileInputStream,
IFSFileOutputStream, etc. but there isn't a readLine() method in these
classes.  I want to be able to read one line at a time.  With IFS file
access classes above, you can only read for a specific amount of byte at a
time not per line basis.
