I'd expect a sum function to look like this:

  SELECT CHL1UC, ITNOUC, SUM(OFQSUC0101) AS S2000
  FROM COGNOSANC.FLINVBCUM
  WHERE YEAR='2000'
    AND CHL1UC='K00069'
  GROUP BY CHL1UC, ITNOUC

If you need this to return a row for each row in the base table, you could 
create a view like the above and join it to flinvbcum on chl1uc and itnouc. 
SQL identifiers are required to begin with an uppercase alphabetic 
character, so "2000" is not a valid column name.

Look at the section on "subselect" in 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r4/ic2924/info/INFOCENT.HTM 
for some good examples of select syntax.
