See there is not doubt that PLAN is an executable form of
DBRM and package is not the executable form.
Basically a DBRM can be linked to PLAN directly or a DBRM
can be linked to Package and that package can further linked
to the PLAN
Now if we directly link the DBRM with the plan then every
time we recompile the program(DBRM) we have to regenerate
the plan.
Whereas if we link the DBRM via package then every time we
recompile the program(DBRM) we only require to recompile the
Package.
Hence Binding through package prevents regeneration of plan.

1 more line I want to add just for knowledge.
If we regenerate the PLAN every time then all the other
Programs(DBRMs) which are attached to that same PLAN
required to be rebind thus take waste time.


Hope this answers your query...

Hi All, In a Cobol-DB2 program, I am fetching rows from 4 tables using cursor and then based on the a field present in that table, It processes the information accordingly..for example stat-c is one digit field..if stat-c is 'D' then the a row is deleted from table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'U' then a row is updated (hardcoded what to update)in a table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'I' then a row is inserted in a table and written those details in to two files. The issue is i have to include the intermediate commits. When an abend occurs, due to commit statement db2 tables will be saved, But there will be lose of file contents. When we resubmitting the job associated with this program there will be insert ,update and delete anomolies to avoid that what measures could be taken?. The intermediate commit is nothing but issuing commit after massive inserts, updates and deletes(sum of 500actions)
