Preparing DB2 Application Plans › Defining Packages › Components of a Package Definition

Components of a Package Definition

Each package definition includes the following:

• A package identification fill-in that creates the entry in the dictionary for the package and provides the dictionary with identification information
• A package parameter fill-in that specifies DB2 BIND command options
• A package resource fill-in that specifies the CA Ideal programs included in the package

You cannot include non-Ideal DBRMs in CA Ideal packages. Therefore, there is no DBRM fill-in for packages.

The CREATE PACKAGE command creates package definitions. The EDIT PACKAGE command can update them. You can also use the commands DISPLAY, PRINT, DUPLICATE, and DELETE with package definitions. For information about the complete syntax, see the Command Reference Guide.

The functions CA Ideal provides to define and maintain package definitions are presented in the Plan Maintenance menu. To access this menu, select option 5 on the Main Menu or enter the PLAN command.
