You are lucky

OS/400 has an SPF like editor and manages libraries where you can put
sources files that are like the partitioned files under VMS.
OS/400 has more utilities and you can reach your goal quicker than under
a VMS (speaking about development of on-line procedures under CICS for
example): there are already utilities to define screens and the OS/400
database is very easy to use.

But about OS/400 and his filesystem there are a lot of stuff that IBM 
might have standardized, but didn't it.
