Hi,

We have a IMS/DB2 program that makes STATIC call to a DB2 sub-program (PROG00S1). I have actually made changes to main program (PROG0001) and added it to Endevor Test region. I need to complete testing of it in TEST region. So, want to know how to proceed on BIND for this situation.

Please explain whether both main and sub-programs should be done PACKAGE and PLAN BIND ? Or, Package BIND for both and Plan BIND for main module alone?

Thanks.

The answer depends on how you BIND at your shop. The recommended approach is to BIND each DBRM into its own PACKAGE, and then list the PACKAGEs in the BIND PLAN. You only need to BIND the PLAN once unless you need to modify the PACKAGE list. The outdated approach would be to BIND all the DBRM's directly into a PLAN. With this approach, you need to BIND the PLAN when any one of DBRMs change. I suspect you're using PACKAGEs, so, you only need to BIND the PACKAGEs for the modified programs.
