Restricting the list of Db2® subsystems

Either of the following commands lists all Db2® subsystems:

SHOW *

SHOW

The following examples demonstrate how you can use the SHOW primary command to restrict the list of Db2® subsystems shown on the Db2® Subsystem Selection menu using the asterisk (*) wildcard and a partial Db2® subsystem ID:

SHOW MM*

Restricts the list to Db2® subsystems with an ID starting with MM

SHOW *PBJ

Restricts the list to Db2® subsystems with an ID ending with PBJ

SHOW *V*

Restricts the list to Db2® subsystems with an ID containing V

The Show function key (F6) works in the same way as the SHOW command, except that it uses the contents of the command line as the selection criteria. For example:

• If the command line is blank and you press the Show function key (F6), FM/Db2 lists all Db2® subsystems. (You would get the same result if the command line contained an asterisk (*)).
• If you type DBT* on the command line and press the Show function key (F6), FM/Db2 lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID begins with “DBT”.
• If you type *26 on the command line and press the Show function key (F6), FM/Db2 lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID ends with “26”.
• If you type *AB* on the command line and press the Show function key (F6), FM/Db2 lists all Db2® subsystems whose ID contains “AB”.
