My first thought when I saw this question was to create a sql proxy
application in java.

Basically, your RPG program would send the java app a SQL request via
data queue, and then have the java app execute the sql request on the
other database, parse the meta data, create a table on the iSeries
matching the result set, and write the results to that iSeries table.
The RPG app would then read the results from the generated table and
drop the table when done.

Obviously it's more complex than that ... but that's the gist of my idea.
