Could write a VB or VB.Net app to do the data uploads and write to the databases directly using the CA/400 database drivers.

Read Dbase -> Write DB2.

I deal with dBase files all the time. We just convert them to what dBase called SDF. Flat, fixed length ASCII.

We use a generic utility program I wrote eons ago that does a dBase "use [somefile]" and "copy to [somefile].txt type sdf" and "quit". Easy to put in a PC job stream.
