My apologies if this seems vague. Yes I would love to use the DBI(used often in past) however, the DB2 system is on MVS. OOPs sorry DBI not allowed!!
I checked %ENV but have not found the necessary info for getting the DB2 process to hear me properly. The best I have gotten so far is to get a DB2 command window open with NO input( not really thrilled with an uncontrolled window).
