This is an updated copy of the SAS82 DBRM that is needed to be able to do a bind to create a package for remote AIX DB2 with SAS Release 8.2 TS2M0 on MVS. The AIX82 member needs to be downloaded from the WEB/FTP directory and renamed to SAS82. Since you still need to keep the original SAS82 DBRM member, transfer the file to MVS as binary and store it in a separte PDS than were the original SAS82 member is stored. Use this new DBRM to bind a package to the AIX DB2 system. Only use this DBRM to bind the AIX package. Use the original DBRM to bind the package on the MVS DB2 system. After binding the packages successfully, with the appropriate DBRMs, bind the plan at the MVS DB2 system. The bind for the MVS system should be what we document in the install doc. The bind for the AIX side has to be different since DB2 for AIX doesn't allow most of the bind options. The following bind command works for the AIX system. Note specificaly that the VALIDATE option specifies BIND instead of RUN. Run is not a valid value for the AIX DB2 system, so the value has to be BIND. BIND PACKAGE(AIX.SAS82) MEMBER(SAS82) ACTION(REPLACE) ISOLATION(CS) - VALIDATE(BIND) DEGREE(ANY) RELEASE(COMMIT) - LIBRARY('DB2V6R1.DBRMLIB.DATA')
