Extend Informix (ESQL/4gl) programs with DB2 connection

Suppose a set of programs written in ESQL (C or Cobol) or 4GL,
accessing an Informix database.

Suppose the Informix' customer owning the souces is willing to see how
DB2 could help him, so a DB2 install alongside the Informix
environment is looked at.

Questions:

- will IBM have an universal precompiler allowing to precompile
against Informix -existing programs- and DB2, together in one program,
allowing to extend the Informix' connection and SQQL with DB2 access

- for ESQL (C or Cobol ) programs

- for 4GL programs (as 4GL connectivity to DB2 was spoken
about by IBM)

- what about the needed "one transaction control" in this context
