Answer / sdexcellent@yahoo.co.in
EXPLAIN is used to display the access path as determined by
the optimizer for a SQL statement.
It can be used in SPUFI (for single SQL statement ) or in
BIND step (for embedded SQL ).
plan table should be created under your authid.if its there
then only EXPLAIN can be used in SPUFI.
Output of EXPLAIN can be stored in userid.plantable
in spufi u ve to write the query with ?
select billtn,lpic from xxxx where lpic > ?

Answer / krishna
In bind parameter if you give like
EXPLAIN(YES)
This will store the acess path in SYSIBM.SYSPLAN table,
it will not do any optimization.
