Maybe you could use the simple Database map available with
iSeries Nav.

Both Embarcadero's products and ERWin are capable of
generating and
"seeing" DB2 on the i.

However, I know of no tools that really deal with logical
files very
well, if at all.

Almost any product you get, will extract the physical
file structure,
but you will have to manually tie in all the relations ,
RI (if any) and
indexing.

The benefit for System i comes after the model is
properly built.

Does anyone know of any database modelling tools that

work with iSeries

(AS/400) physical and logical files (i.e. files created

with DDS)? I would

like to create ERDs by reverse engineering an existing

iSeries database.
