OPTIONS bind option

The OPTIONS option specifies which bind options are used for the new package when the COPY option is specified.

OPTIONS
  • (COMPOSITE)
  • (COMMAND)
On: BIND PACKAGE COPY
COMPOSITE
The option values that are specified in the BIND PACKAGE COPY subcommand are used for the package copy. The values for the options that are not specified are the option values that are in the SYSPACKAGE catalog table row that describes the source package that is to be copied.

For a remote copy, OPTIONS(COMPOSITE) is only valid if the remote DB2® subsystem is DB2 Version 8 or higher.

COMMAND
The option values that are specified in the BIND PACKAGE COPY subcommand are used for the package copy. The values for options that are not specified are determined as follows:
  • For a local copy, the DB2-defined BIND PACKAGE options defaults are used.
  • For a remote copy, the server-defined BIND PACKAGE option defaults are used at the server. You must use OPTIONS(COMMAND) when copying to a down-level server or to a non-z/OS DB2 server. A down-level server is any server that is not DB2 10 for z/OS®.

Defaults:

Process Default value
BIND PLAN N/A
BIND PACKAGE COPY COMPOSITE
REBIND PLAN N/A
REBIND PACKAGE N/A
