  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Object Comparison Tool V7.2.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Panel ADB2UPA  has a new field -  the   *
  *                      BindError  field.   This field allows   *
  *                      the  custome  to specify h ow BIND or   *
  *                      REBIND  errors  are to be  handled by   *
  *                      ADBTEP2.   The  allowed  values   for   *
  *                      this field are MAXE, SAVE and IGNORE.   *
  *                      The value  provided for this field is   *
  *                      passed to the ADBTEP2 program using     *
  *                      the new BINDERROR() parameter.          *
  *                                                              *
  *                      When MAXE is specified as the BINDERROR *
  *                      value,   the  failing  BIND  or  REBIND *
  *                      command will be written to the  ADBHOLD *
  *                      table.ADBTEP2 will use the MAXE setting *
  *                      to determine if processing continues or *
  *                      halts:                                  *
  *                                                              *
  *                       If MAXE(0)is specified or if MAXE() is *
  *                       omitted,  a BIND  or REBIND error will *
  *                       cause the WSL processing to stop.      *
  *                                                              *
  *                      If MAXE(-1) is specified, processing    *
  *                       will continue.                         *
  *                                                              *
  *                       If a value >0 is provided for MAXE,the *
  *                       BIND  or  REBIND error  will increment *
  *                       the  MAXE counter  and processing will *
  *                       stop  if  the  number  of  errors  has *
  *                      reached the value.                      *
  *                                                              *
  *                      When SAVE is specified as the BINDERROR *
  *                      value,    the  failing  BIND  or REBIND *
  *                      command will be  written to the ADBHOLD *
  *                      table.ADBTEP2 will continue processing. *
  *                                                              *
  *                      When IGNORE is  specified  as  the      *
  *                      BINDERROR value,  the failing BIND      *
  *                      or REBIND commands are ignored and      *
  *                      not written  to the ADBHOLD table.      *
  *                      ADBTEP2 will continue.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  With this enhancement  to DB2 Object Comparison Tool
  V7.2, a method of allowing the ADBTEP2 Batch Restart
  program to  stop on a failing DB2 command but not on
  a failing BIND command is introduced.
