Jamal,

Two things.

1.) You didn't mention if your iSeries target is your production system or not.
2.) Generally, iSeries applications are legacy applications and do not have common database relations.

There is no such tool which exists for legacy (dds) based databases which allows the user to easily make reports without understanding the underlying query engine design.

The IBM WebQuery product could do it, with the templating done by an experienced DB2 for i DBE, but $ per core makes cost too prohibitive for some.
