It is good that you have an answer

You should be aware that this is some local terminology and not industry or product standard.

m not sure if it is a local terminology...

After crossing verifying with many JCL's i came to know why the Bind card is used for.

Hello,

Let us know if you find this terminology in any CA publication or in JCL that is not used on your system.

Things/terms used only one or a few systems are local. When one has experience on systems of one organization, it is a common mistake to believe that the same is true elsewhere.
