When compiling a DB2 application using Net Express the DB2(BIND) directive is used to create a DB2 Bind file that can be used to bind the application to the database.

But when using the DB2 BIND command as follows the error shown is displayed.
Why?

SQL>db2 bind @dynamic.bnd

LINE    MESSAGES FOR dynamic.bnd
------  --------------------------------------------------------------------
        SQL0061W  The binder is in progress.
        SQL0031C  File "BINDV810L       `                   ü   «   O
                  œ " could not be opened.

LINE    MESSAGES FOR dynamic.bnd
------  --------------------------------------------------------------------
        SQL0040N  An error occurred on one or more bind files in list
                  "dynamic.bnd".  The following files were not bound:  "1".
                  SQLSTATE=00000
        SQL0082C  An error has occurred which has terminated
                  processing.
        SQL0091N  Binding was ended with "3" errors and "0" warnings.

The problem was caused by the inclusion of the @ character at the beginning of the bind file name.

       SQL>db2 bind to @dynamic.bnd

When this character is used to start the name then it is supposed to be referencing a list file which is a text file containing all the names of the various .bnd files to use.

If you have a single bnd file, e.g. "dynamic.bnd" then you need to specify the name without the @ character:

      SQL>db2 bind to dynamic.bnd

Only use the @ character when specifying a list:

     SQL>db2 bind to @dynamic.lst
