Of course, the really elegant way to do this would be to use the sqledgne
("Get Next Database Directory Entry") API (see the "Administrative API
Reference" manual for documentation).  This is available for REXX (see the
dbcat.cmd sample program) and other languages.  I assume this will work
with REXX for Windows too, so it may be your best bet.

That example didn't come out like I wanted.  Maybe this will be better.

Search for the word "indirect" and go back a retrieve the database
name that is 4 lines above it.

Database 5 entry:

 Database alias                  = TESTDB
 Database name                   = TESTDB<===Retrieve this
 Database drive                  = D:\DB2
 Database release level          = 9.00
 Comment                         =
 Directory entry type            = Indirect<===Find this
 Catalog node number             = 0

I knew the list database directory option was available but didn't know
there was
a way to read a previous line once I find the keyword "indirect".  My idea
is to
pipe the list database directory to a file and use the file as an input
file to look for the
"Directory entry type            = Indirect" then read back four lines
and get the database name.  Anyone know how to do this with rexx?

Database 5 entry:

 Database alias                  = TESTDB
 Database name                   = TESTDB
<=======================================
 Database drive                  = D:\DB2
|
 Database release level          = 9.00
|
 Comment                         =                                        |
 Directory entry type            = Indirect<========Find this.....retrieve
this==
 Catalog node number             = 0

Tim,

The "LIST DATABASE DIRECTORY" command lists ALL databases, local and
remote.  The local databases have "indirect" listed as the Directory entry
type.  Since you're using REXX for Windows, you could probably pull these
from the output.

Hello list,

I am currently working on some automation and want to know of a way to get
a listing
of only the local databases that are cataloged on a machine.  I thought the
list active
databases might be the direction to go, but would only be effective if all
of the databases
had a connection at all times.  Apparently that is not the case here.

DB2 UDB NT version 6.1
REXX for Windows

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Tim Traxson
