I assumed that the OP wanted to programmatically access the DB2 database
on the AS/400 from an AIX machine, therefore the OP should/could use the
CLI API to connect to the database, and so forth.

The last time I looed at the DB2 client on AIX (hang on, here I go...)
it did (does) not use ODBC to connect.

Perhaps the OP should expand on what they are trying to do?
