DB2I panels that are used for program preparation

DB2I contains a set of panels that let you prepare an application for execution.

The following table describes each of the panels that you need to use to prepare an application.

Table 1. DB2I panels used for program preparation
Panel name	Panel description
Db2 Program Preparation panel	Lets you choose specific program preparation functions to perform. For the functions that you choose, you can also display the associated panels to specify options for performing those functions. This panel also lets you change the DB2I default values and perform other precompile and prelink functions.
DB2I Defaults Panel 1	Lets you change many of the system defaults that are set at Db2 installation time.
DB2I Defaults Panel 2	Lets you change your default job statement and set additional COBOL options.
Precompile panel	Lets you specify values for precompile functions. You can reach this panel directly from the DB2I Primary Option Menu or from the Db2 Program Preparation panel. If you reach this panel from the Program Preparation panel, many of the fields contain values from the Primary and Precompile panels.
Bind Package panel	Lets you change many options when you bind a package. You can reach this panel directly from the DB2I Primary Option Menu or from the Db2 Program Preparation panel. If you reach this panel from the Db2 Program Preparation panel, many of the fields contain values from the Primary and Precompile panels.
Bind Plan panel	Lets you change options when you bind an application plan. You can reach this panel directly from the DB2I Primary Option Menu or as a part of the program preparation process. This panel also follows the Bind Package panels.
Defaults for Bind Package and Defaults for Rebind Package panels	Let you change the defaults for BIND or REBIND PACKAGE or PLAN.
System Connection Types panel	Lets you specify a system connection type. This panel displays if you choose to enable or disable connections on the Bind or Rebind Package or Plan panels.
Panels for entering lists of values	Let you enter or modify an unlimited number of values. A list panel looks similar to an ISPF edit session and lets you scroll and use a limited set of commands.
Program Preparation: Compile, Link, and Run panel	Lets you perform the last two steps in the program preparation process (compile and link-edit). This panel also lets you do the PL/I MACRO PHASE for programs that require this option. For TSO programs, the panel also lets you run programs.
