What is the difference between a package and a plan?..

Answer / siri

PACKAGE:- package is a single bound dbrm...package is not executable......means its not executable with the cobol load module...dbrm bind the package and trun into the plan...when there is changes need to the sub prg its enough to recompile sub program...for example i have 10 prgs like a,b,c,d,e,f,i,j...i have the requirement to changes need to the program b..in case of package only recompile and rebind b program only....
PLAN :- plan is collections of packages....dbrm is also directly bind to the plan...but one dis advantage is there when dbrm is directly rebind in plan...that is suppose 10 dbrms is there..10 dbrms 10 times rebind to the plan..same example is like above...10 prgs is there like a,b,c......j b program to need changes after compiling the program u rebind not only b program all are rebind again...in case of package bind into the plan...suppose 1000 packages are there they are included in one package list it is easy to bind to the plan...no need to the rebind the 1000 times..one u bind that automatically 999 prgs are bind into the plan...
