No. Using the IPCS card, the IPCS's file structure is stored in its own file
system in the IFS. There aren't any APIs to get from one side to the other.
When you've got NT running on IPCS card, the options for data integration
between the two environments are identical to what they are if the NT Server
was running on an external NT Server (eg, ODBC, OLE DB, etc).

IBM mentions in passing that with NT and the IPCS you can now run CA/400's
ODBC driver as an NT Service, but you can do that anyway with CA/400's ODBC
driver.
