Appendix H. List Files, Bind Files, and Packages

This appendix lists the bind files contained in different .lst files shipped with the product. Although the contents of these lists are similar for each platform, the bind packages are generated specifically for each platform. Each package name can be mapped back to the client platform.

Note that the Bind function in the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant chooses the correct bind files for you automatically.

Note:

In the following tables, under the Package Name columns, each DB2 bind package is represented as follows. For example, in the file name SQLabxYz: SQL identifies the bind package as a DB2 utility, ab identifies the utility, x represents the last digit of the year the product became available, Y represents the platform of the client, z represents the modification level.

Users on OS/2, Windows 32-bit operating systems, and AIX systems can use the ddcspkgn command to determine the package name for for individual bind files or list (.lst) files. This command is found in the bin directory under the DB2 installation directory. For example, on an AIX system, enter the following command with the bind file in the local directory:

   /sqllib/bin/ddcspkgn db2ajgrt.bnd

The following list maps Y values to platforms:
