Embedded SQL and Remote D-Base Connectivity

[bellis@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Can anyone point me to a good reference or example on how to create embedded SQL
programs that need to access remote databases in an multi AS/400 environment.
We are using the CRTRGPSQLI command.
Some of the issues I'm unclear on is:
1) Do we need an SQL package created on the remote system?
2) If we need it how do we automatically get the package created on the remote
system?
3) Is there an easy way to specify the remote system to connect to at run time?

I've got the DB2 for AS/400 SQL Programming and Distributed Database Programming
manuals in front of me. However, these do not clearly explain what I need to put
it all together.

Thanks in advance,
Brian Ellis.

P.S.
The databases are entered into the Remote Database Directory Entry.
The following is an example of how one of them is setup:
Relational database  . . . . . . :   S1025Y8M
Remote location:
  Remote location  . . . . . . . :   S1025Y8M
    Type . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *SNA
  Device description . . . . . . :   QYCTSOC
  Local location . . . . . . . . :   *LOC
  Remote network identifier  . . :   *LOC
  Mode . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   QYCTSOC
  Transaction program  . . . . . :   *DRDA
