Connect DB2 v81 through client with DB2 V72

[Marwoto]

I got this tips, when I try to connect my db2 client that used version 7.2 fixpack 10 to database server with version v8.1. I found out that if we used runtime client installation v72 fp10, there are only a few of bind files we can bound to our database server. That's why, i can't retrieve table inlcudiing its data at database server that running db2 v81 to .
Simply, I copied bind files that brougth with application devel client instalation to my client that had run time client installation (in Windows, both reside at Program Files/SQLLIB/bnd with fixpack 8 or later). Finally, used bind command to database we want to connect.

db2 connect to <database_name> user <userid> using <password>
db2 bind @db2cli.lst blocking all grant public
db2 bind @db2ubind.lst blocking all grant public

these collection files (*.lst), you won't find it at run time client installation db2 v72.

Any comment or correction will be appreciated.

I think, carefully copying the bind files from one prod's directory to another might work ... Doing this is no harm in dev .... But, prod may be risky .... IBM may not support ..
