DRDA IBM i to z/OS

I'm working on a proof-of-concept for a client. They want an embedded
SQL program (CBLLE or RPGLE) to connect to a z/OS DB2 instance, read
data from a table and bring it back to the IBM i.
I wrote the IBM i program (ILE COBOL), successful connected to the z/OS
DB2, and attempted to open a cursor on a remote table. I got a failure
code because of no package. On the IBM i side, I eventually was
seemingly able to create a package on z/OS by using CRTSQLPKG and
specifying the IBM i program and the z/OS remote database name.
When I tried running the program again, I got a different error when I attempted to open the cursor. This time, the error indicated the z/OS
user ID that made the connection was not authorized to the SQL package.
That's odd, because the same user ID was used via a server authorization
entry when I ran the CRTSQLPKG command.
At my last job, I helped to make this happen going to the other
direction: COBOL program on z/OS making connection to IBM i and reading
data from IBM i DB2 tables using SQL. The mainframe developers had some initial trouble with their BINDs, but eventually we got it to work.
Does anyone here have any experience connecting _from_ IBM i _to_ z/OS?
If so, do you have any tips, and can you point me to any IBM
documentation on this?
Thanks in advance.
