I'm partial to Aldon's Change Management System (ACMS).  ACMS is a
rock-solid change management system.  ACMS  lets you distribute
source/object/database file changes from a central development system to
multiple production systems.  There is a "Receiver" module that you buy
separately for each machine taking distributions.

Aldon also has a new product named Affinity, which, IIRC,  can be used for
version control for all of your applications across the enterprise
(client-server, web, etc.), not just AS/400.
