Hmm..  I really should use a cursor shouldn't I.

Thanks Joseph, I think I am going to read up on cursors in DB2 and may
have more questions for you soon.

UPDATE TABLEA
SET (b, c, d) = (SELECT b1, c1, d1 from TABLEB WHERE TABLEB.a1 =
TABLEA.a and TABLEB.e1 > 40) WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 from TABLEB WHERE
TABLEB.a1 = TABLEA.a and TABLEB.e1 > 40);

Not pretty, but should work.
You also might find this to work MUCH better as a stored procedure using
a cursor...
