name of SYSi database. was(Encrypt/Decrypt Image in IBMi)

[Frank Kolmann <Frank.Kolmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just wondering was there ever was a DB1 or DB, and isnt DB just short 
for Database.
As I recall the S38 AS400  Sysi never had a name for the file database, 
they were completely integrated systems and one never even thought of 
ISAM VTAM etc.
The beauty of having just one addressable data space even made disk 
drives something one never considered.
Then along came the IFS, a backward step imo, but necessary to remain in 
touch with other systems.
To me the hardware, database, and even software were all just one thing 
called S38 AS400 or  Sys i5
IMO a lot of IBMers , those from the Big Iron side . never truly 
understood this. so I guess that is the reason for all the name changes.

apologies David  .  should be on midrange list.
