Setting the program level
The program level defines the level for a particular module. This information is stored in the consistency token, which is in an internal DB2® format. Overriding the program level in the consistency token is possible, if needed, but generally not recommended.
Procedure
To override the construction of the consistency token by DB2:
Use
the LEVEL (aaaa) option. DB2 uses the value that you choose
for aaaa to generate the consistency token.
Although this method is not recommended for general use and the DSNH
CLIST or the DB2 Program Preparation
panels do not support it, this method enables you to perform the following
actions:
- Change the source code (but not the SQL statements) in the DB2 precompiler output of a bound program.
- Compile and link-edit the changed program.
- Run the application without rebinding a plan or package.
