You did not mention the access method you are currently using. If you
wrote it all to ODBC, then ODBC it can be. If it was all embedded SQL,
then you got a different problem.

If you had isolated all of the database code into specific classes and
used CLI, then you might be able to re-use most of that code by getting
the native C++ compiler on the 400, and then building some
communications link between the front end and the database classes.
(RMI, CORBA, etc.)

Also be aware that even with SF99104, the V4R4 "B" release for the
database goodies does not completely match the DB2 UDB or even the DB2
C/S versions. There are other limitations.
