Calling Database Manager CLI 
When you call Database Manager CLI, you can enter DBM options and a maximum of one DBM command.
You can enter additional parameters for DBM options. The parameters are explained in the description of the respective DBM option.
If you use DBM options with parameters, mark the beginning of the subsequent DBM command with the option –c (see: -c: Indicating as DBM command). By doing so, you prevent the Database Manager program from interpreting the beginning of the DBM command as a parameter of the previous DBM option.
You can also enter additional command options for the DBM command. These command options are explained in the description of the respective DBM command.
Input help is provided for long DBM commands.
For information about the format of the return values for DBM commands, see Reply Format.
