You must bind the database utilities (import, export, reorg, the Command Line Processor) and 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 use different versions or service levels of DB2®, you must bind the utilities once for each version of DB2 used.
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 (typically sqllib for Windows). Each file is specific to a server.
