to use DDM from the AS/400. We have one that runs SQLAnywhere (Watcom), and
I've had to write some PowerBuilder code to exchange data with the AS/400.

That reminds me, if it IS DB2, then DRDA can talk to it directly. You can
even use SQL from the 400 to directly manipulate a DB2 table on another
platform.
