Hello,

Can anybody explain how rebind is done in DB2. If there is a time stamp mismatch error how is it solved.

regards

Hari.

hello HARI,

This REBIND does the same as BIND with the difference that it uses the sql statements that were saved in the catalog during the previous BIND,whereas BIND uses the DBRM(external) statements.

AFAIK this rebind is used when the program has not changed,but authorizations have been changed,or new index have been created etc.It is even faster than bind since it is using catalog as input.

Thanks
Anu

Hello Anu,

Thanks for ur reply. But i still have doubt ie, if rebind has to be done , how is it done practically.

Is there any rebind key word. Any modifications required in the bind , run jcl's ?.

Thanking you,

regards

Hari.
