My company has a product, ERROS, that could help you.  It could use AS/SET DDS
file definitions to import the data into our AS/400 Neural Database.  In
addition, using the AS/SET definitions, new applications could be created,
largely without any program coding or program generation. As ERROS generates 
HTML
on the fly, these applications could be used instantly over the Inter/Intranet.
No physical file design is required, no logical files are used (yet any item can
be indexed 1,000,000,000 **2 ways) and the database structure can be changed
whilst the system is live.

Given the extraordinary complexity of AS/SET I cannot pretend that it would be a
trivial task but I am sure that it would take a mere fraction of the time that
would be required using any other method.

Please call or e-mail me if you would like more information
