Hi All,

I came across the question
How to solve -805 DB2 Sql code

As i know it is plan/package not found error.I answered we have to provide correct plan/pckage name in SYSTSIN card.

But it look like they were not satisfied with the answer.I work in project where all this thing are done by tool,so i have never done it manually.

Please put some light on it.

Hello,

Who are "they"?

Have you read all of the info in the IBM manual about a -805?
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/handheld/Connected/BOOKS/dsnmcj10/2.1.6.398?

It looks like the "answer" in the book says a lot more than you answered.

I have asked the same general question during an interview.

While understanding how to solve the -805 is a skill to have, it may be as well-served to demonstrate understanding of how to get a program into productive use. By understanding this, the reason for the -805s fall into place and can be avoided.

Here is what I typically ask:

What is the compilation process for a <COBOL> program?

What things are produced, for example, program listing? (Probe to see if the interviewee provides DBRM as an object produced, and what it is).

How do the compilation artifacts 'come together', and get run?

etc.

-805s are due to a lack of experience, understanding or attention to the over-all process. Handling -805s are best done by preventing them.

Yup, agreed for sure!

People new to an environment should be provided with the "correct way to do it here".
