1.Can we create a plan directly without using pacakages?(IBM)

YES,prior to DB2 2.2 version there is no concept called packeges...
read 2nd chapter of DB2 by cjdate for more details

2.Transilation Process?(IBM)
A. MAy be they are asking translator in cics or DB2 Precompilation process ,these are examples of API(Application program Interface) process which happens at precompile state,all the statements are converted in cobol call statements at compile state
examples EXEC SQL,EXEC CICS

3.How do v pass data from one prog to another
prog without using linkage section give syntax?(TCS)
A.they may mean CICS/COBOL programs..using TDQ,TSQ Or other way is to write data to a file close & read the file in other program

4.If i have 1000 programs.I change one field A(5) to A(10).On which programs is is impacted,How u
A> WE need to do Impact analysis on them,using search option,OR EZYEDIT tools go to 3.15 option..give the filed name..& the PDS name..we get all the members which uses this field

5.How u cancel a Job?(I-flex)
in the sdsf before job Press P to purge the job,A or C to cancel, i am not sure plz check,the detials

6.Where u will see the abends in Production?(HP)
A. in log,SDSF

7.What is configuration tool?(HP)
A.as the programs get changed frequently as per business requirement we need to keep up all the versions ,this is called version control or Configuration management..the tools used for that are LIbrarion,Endevor,Panvalet,Changeman...

8.Member name is ABCD & program name(id) is
XYZ on which name loadmodule is created

the load module is of Program Name....the program name & member name need not be same Compulsarly,but if there are not same as the linker(link edit process) always looks for member names...we need to mention explicitly using Entry ...ENTRY "PROGRAM NAME"


Thanks
Siva
