Bind packages facility screen for PL/I
Select option 4 (BIND PACKAGE FACILITY) from the Bind Facility Menu to display the Bind Package Facility screen shown in the next three figures. Choose this option if you are using Db2 8.1 or above and require support for 128-byte long names. To perform the bind function, you must have Db2 authority.
The only valid command on this screen is RESTORE:
RESTORE
Restores the default values established during installation to all the fields on the screen.

When you press Enter from this screen, the bind operation begins. You are binding the File-AID for Db2 DBRM members with the DBRM members you list in the DBRM Member field and on the DBRM Libraries screen (described in DBRM Libraries Screen). You do not have to specify the File-AID for Db2 DBRM members because they are automatically specified by the bind function.
Some of the options on the Bind Plan for FADB2 screen are described as follows. The remaining options not covered here are documented in the applicable IBM manuals describing the bind function.
Submit Bind Method
Specify the method to be used to invoke the Db2 command processor. Valid choices are Batch, Editjcl, and Foreground. If Batch is specified, a job will be submitted to bind the plan. Specifying Editjcl will invoke the ISPF edit facility with the JCL used to execute in batch. The JCL and control cards can be modified before submitting or saving them. If you specify Foreground, the Db2 command processor will be invoked in the foreground.
DB2 System ID
Specify the non-blank Db2 subsystem name (SSN), recognizable to the DSN command processor, to use for testing.
If no SSN is specified, the DSNLOAD data set will not be allocated before the DSN command is issued. Instead you must have previously allocated the DSNLOAD data set to ISPLLIB or in the STEPLIB, LINKLIST, or LPALIB concatenation.
Your plan is saved in the catalog of the specified subsystem.
Location Name
Optional value used to specify the location of the package for the bind operation.
Collection ID
Required. Specify the identifier of the package collection to be included in the bind, following the Db2 defined syntax for names.
Owner
Optional value used to specify the owner of the Db2 package.
Qualifier
Optional.
Path
Specify the path of the package. This field can contain 512 bytes of the entire 2048 bytes allowed by Db2 8.1.
