Try running the SQL statement interactively on the AS/400.
Before you STRSQL,   do a STRDBG (no program name).

Then run the SQL statement.    Look at your joblog, and you will see
messages from SQL saying which access paths were considered,
which ones were built,   and in the second level text it will give 
suggestions as to what LF's (if any)  could have helped.
