Preparing DB2 Application Plans › Defining Packages › Creating a Package Definition

Creating a Package Definition

To create a new package definition, issue the CREATE PACKAGE command and complete the package identification fill-in. An entry for the package definition is added to the dictionary as soon as the package is named, either in the command or in the fill‑in. The editors are the same as are used for Plans, but will perform their validation based on editing a Package.

Note that the name used for a Package must be the same as is used for the Module associated with the program. This common identity is used to load the correct I/O module when the application is run.
