After Precompilation the output is new source cobol list and DBRM.

DBRM is the collection of SQL statements.

Plan is the compiled form of SQL statements. It contains the optimum path to execute that SQL statements.

Plan is two types one is BIND PLAN and another one is BIND PACKAGE.

FOR BIND PLAN THE INPUT IS MORE THAN ONE DBRM.I.E. PACKAGES...

FOR PACKAGE THE INPUT IS ONLY ONE DBRM.

PLAN IS THE COMPILE FORM OF MORE THAN ONE DBRM. IT MAY BE ONE.
