Below is the code which I am referring to. Implemented for Informix DB with dbaccess interactive mode. I need to implement similar logic for DB2. 

sub get_colinfo
{
    my $table = shift;

    open TINFO, "-|", "echo \"info columns for $table\" | iSQL 2>&1" o
+r die "foo $?";

    my @colinfo = ();

    while (<TINFO>)
    {
        if (/^SQL/)
        {
            # oops, got an error
            print STDERR $_;
            while (<TINFO>)
            {
                print STDERR $_;
            }
            last;
        }
        my @info = split(/\|/, $_);
        my $colname = $info[1];
        my $ntype = $info[2];
        my $collen = $info[3];

        $colinfo[0] = $colname;
        $colinfo[1] = $ntype;
        $colinfo[2] = $collen;
    }
    return \@colinfo;
}
