Are you serious? We were version 4 and upgraded to version 8 half a year go. The only thing that has moved off the AS/400 is the print. They wrote a little C++ program to do it. The daily cycle generates and xtract file. The PC program downloads it, merges it with the forms and prints it out. I will keep comments about some of the program to myself.
