In a COBOL-DB2 program,
1. Precompiler is responsible for checking syntax errors of DB2 statements.
2. Bind also used to check the syntax errors of DB2 statements.

Query: Can any one please let me know what exactly, the sytem will check for errors
during precomilation and Bind.

Also please let us know some examples for each.

No idea without reading it up but...the pre-compiler does more than 'syntax-check' it replaces your SQL code with COBOL/host-language code. Check the output from the prcompiler. And I do not know if BIND checks the syntax of your SQL code.
You will find better information in the DB2 manuals/redbook.

Re Precompiler: I cannot point you to a document including detailled answers to your questions,
however, to get an idea you may have a look at the precompiler generated DSNH messages.
