Hello DirtyB,
You have to distinguish between the middleware you could be using and the tool to create the extractions. For DB2 UDB (on NT or Unix) I suggest using the native ODBC drivers. You can then a great variety of tools to get data from the database (MS query from office,business intelligence tools, specialized tools like Quest central for DB2) IBM has tools to offer too nowadays (forgot the name of it) Way back I purchased a license for a simple query tool for just 50$ , it is simple but quite effective.
For AS400 there also a lot of options : Client Access Express ODBC or STARSQL ODBC drivers angd again almost any kind of query tool will do the trick. If you need more specifics let me know....
