Most commonly, a remote database directory entry would be created. Use WRKRDBDIRE to access the database directory on an AS/400. Add an entry for the remote database. You can then use SQL CONNECT on the local AS/400 to open a connection to the database on the remote AS/400. — Tom

Thank you for your reply,I would like to access objects (*FILE objects mainly) of an library (or the whole library) from a remote AS/400 without having to create a DDM File. What are the “number of ways for two AS/400s to access objects on each other” ? I am only aware of DDMThanks

The question doesn’t make sense. What does the question subject mean by “share objects”? What objects? Share how? What does the question mean by “share disk”? There are a number of ways for two AS/400s to access objects on each other, but “share disk” is fairly meaningless. The OS itself is not aware of individual disks. — Tom
