A .DLL is a Windows object which is is similar in nature to a service
program on the iSeries.

What do you mean by "access some DLLs"?

Do you want to make them available to Windows PCs so that they can execute
the code from your iSeries hard-drive?  If so, this is not an RPG
question, and does not belong on this list.

Do you want to make them available for download from a PC?  Again, this is
not an RPG question and does not belong here.

Do you want to try to make an RPG program that can run the code in a .DLL?
As far as I know, that's not possible.  (Unless you're intending to write
your own "PASE-like" system that can execute Windows objects, but if so,
it's way over my head)

Do you want to learn how to make an iSeries Service Program (which is the
OS/400 equivalent of a DLL)?  If so, that would be on-topic for this list.
If that's indeed what you're looking for, we can point you in the right
direction.

The problem is, saying that you want to "access some DLLs" isn't very
specific, and it's hard to tell what you mean.
