/ Loop starts
:Reply from Peter
BIND, in a typical sense, provides the connectivity between your program and the db2 database. There is something called as plan which does the same thing also and the difference is that an Application Plan provides the connectivity for a complete program (including all of the called sub-programs) while a package can provide the connectivity for a single sub-program. Each program must have an application plan but packages are an optional component that makes maintaining the application plans much easier.
In order for your program to be able to be executed without giving a -818 SQLCODE you need to bind an application plan for your entire program.
still have questions?

Anuj,
I faced a -818 recently. I tried to bind the program, which was successful. but the -818 dint not resolve?.. any thoughts, what might be the cause even after binding? |

| Only suggestion I can give is BIND the application again, using the DBRM for the application program that matches the object module. |

Hello,

Yes, the components are "out of sync". . .
Suggest you rerun the pre-compile, compile, link, and bind using all of the correct components for each step. . . |
