Usage Notes
DB2 Interactive CLI consists of a set of commands that can be used to design, prototype, and test CLI function calls. It is a programmers' testing tool provided for the convenience of those who want to use it, and IBM makes no guarantees about its performance. DB2 Interactive CLI is not intended for end users, and so does not have extensive error-checking capabilities.
Two types of commands are supported:
Commands can be issued interactively, or from within a file. Similarly, command output can be displayed on the terminal, or written to a file. A useful feature of the CLI command driver is the ability to capture all commands that are entered during a session, and to write them to a file, thus creating a command script that can be rerun at a later time.
For more information about this utility, see the file intcli.doc, which is also located in the sqllib/samples/cli/ subdirectory of the home directory of the database instance owner.
