Issuing Db2® commands from the Enter and Execute Db2® Commands panel

To issuing Db2® commands from the Enter and Execute Db2® Commands panel:

  1. Display the Enter and Execute Db2® Commands panel by performing one of these actions:
    • Select option 6 (Command) from the Primary Option Menu panel and press Enter.
    • From the Process pull-down menu on the Action bar, select option 1 (Db2® Command) and press Enter.
  2. On the Enter and Execute Db2® Commands panel, under Db2® Command:, type a hyphen (-) followed immediately by the Db2® command you want to issue.
    For example:
    -DISPLAY ARCHIVE
    Note: If you do not prefix the command with a hyphen, one is added by FM/Db2.
  3. When you issue either the DISPLAY THREAD or DISPLAY DATABASE command, you can optionally specify the maximum number of lines to be returned in the Line count field.
  4. Press Enter.

    FM/Db2 displays the output from the Db2® command in an ISPF View session as shown in Example of output displayed by Db2 after Db2 command issued.
