Command Parameters
- -c
- Execute the command, and then terminate. For example, "db2cmd /c
dir" causes the "dir" command to be invoked in a command window, and then the
command window closes.
- -w
- Wait until the cmd.exe process ends. For example, "db2cmd /c
/w dir" invokes the "dir" command, and db2cmd.exe does not end until
the command window closes.
- -i
- Run the command window, sharing the same console and inheriting file
handles. For example, "db2cmd /c /w /i db2 get dbm cfg > myoutput"
invokes cmd.exe to run the db2 command and to wait for its
completion. A new console is not assigned, and stdout is piped to file
"myoutput".
- -t
- Instead of using "DB2 CLP" as the title of the command window, inherit the
title from the invoking window. This is useful if one wants, for
example, to set up an icon with a different title that invokes "db2cmd
/t".
Note: | All switches must appear before any commands to be executed. For
example: db2cmd /t db2.

Usage Notes
If DB21061E ("Command line environment not initialized.") is
returned when bringing up the CLP-enabled DB2 window, or running CLP commands
on Windows 95 or Windows 98, the operating system may be running out of
environment space. Check the config.sys file for the
SHELL environment setup parameter, and increase its value accordingly.
For example:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P /E:32768
