9.7.11 START

Purpose

The START command runs the DBMCLI commands in the specified script file.

Syntax

STA[RT] file_name

Usage Notes

The START option is file_name. It is the name of the script file that contains the DBMCLI commands. If the file name does not include a fully-qualified path, then the DBMCLI utility searches for the file relative to the current directory.

The START command is useful when entering long or multiple DBMCLI commands. For example, all the commands in Example 9-10 can be entered in a text file named alter_dbserver, then run as follows, assuming that the alter_dbserver file is in the current directory:

START alter_dbserver
