You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg, the command line processor) and DB2 CLI bind files to each database before they can be used with that database. In a network environment, if you are using multiple clients that run on different operating systems or are at different versions or service levels of DB2, you must bind the utilities once for each operating system and DB2-version combination.
Binding a utility creates a package, which is an object that includes all of the information that is needed to process specific SQL statements from a single source file.
The bind files are grouped together in different .lst files in the bnd directory, under the installation directory. Each file is specific to a server.
