Determining the value of any bind options that affect the design of your program

Several options of the BIND PACKAGE and BIND PLAN commands can affect your program design. For example, you can use a bind option to ensure that a package or plan can run only from a particular CICS® connection or IMS™ region. Your code does not need to enforce this situation.

Procedure

To determine the value of any bind options that affect the design of your program:

Review the list of bind options and decide the values for any options that affect the way that you write your program. For example, you should decide the values of the ACQUIRE and RELEASE options before you write your program. These options determine when your application acquires and releases locks on the objects it uses.
