Thanks Birgitta

Does not answer my question ,'was there a DB1?'

I googled DB1 only reference I could find was

5761-DB1 IBM System/38 Utilities for System i
5761-DB1 IBM System/38 Utilities for System i IBM United States Sales 
Manual
Revised: January 29, 2008.
Product Life Cycle Dates Back to top Abstract System/38 Utilities for 
System i
is a program providing System/38-compatible database utilities for the 
iSeries
or i5/OS (TM) system customers who migrate from System/38.

I know the S/38 database was not known as DB1, also these utilities 
allowed S/38 WRKQRY? to run on AS400
else it was a real pain to convert the S/38 queries.

So perhaps in conclusion the S/38 database was DB1, but not named 
explicitly.
