Unless you have some specific need that requires writing a
native driver for UniVerse, I'd suggest to first have a look
at the UniVerse ODBC driver:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/25119340.pdf

The driver conforms to ODBC 2.0, so should work well with mxODBC
which supports drivers having ODBC conformance levels 2.0 - 3.5:
