Try using CPYTOTAP on the 4.3 box to a standard label tape, and CPYFRMTAP
on the 3.2. You can get the source and data over that way, but you will
need to recompile everything (source compatibility is not a given, but
should be fixable), and then you will need to copy the data into the
database with CPYF FMTOPT(*NOCHK). It's a little ugly, but it can be done.
If you're ambitious, you can create a database reader jobstream that
compiles everything on the fly. If it's just a one time deal, that's
probably not worth the effort.
