Uh... AS/400 is every bit 64-bit enabled from hardware to software to operating system to DB2/400 and has been for a couple of years. In fact, existing AS/400 applications that ran on the non-RISC models were optimized for 64-bit speed and performance WITHOUT the need for rewrites or lengthy recompiles.

I don't think that all software running on Digital is fully 64-bit enabled today like the AS/400.
