If you are familiar with SQL, you might want to try the JDBC classes.  JDBC
provides all the capabilities of SQL in a programmable interface.  If, on
the other hand, you would prefer to use the more standard file-based access
of OS/400, you can use the Record Level Access classes.  Finally, if you're
so inclined, you can write programs in RPG or COBOL to retrieve data, and
call them directly from your Java program.

The options are endless.  I guess it's more a question of what kind of data
you want to access.
