Haven't seen many _true_ data modeling tools for the /400.  The various CASE
tools take a stab at it, but fall short because their forte (and focus) is
lower CASE.  There used to be a product called "The Visible Analyst" that
would actually create DDS, but I don't remember who wrote it and haven't seen
it in so long it may no longer be around.  IEF was supposed to come up with a
/400 interface at one time, but don't know if they ever followed through after
TI sold that division.  Sorry, not much help, but a couple of places to
look...

Cheers!,
