Displays the history of commands run within a CLP interactive
mode session.
Scope
This command can only be run within
CLP interactive mode. Specifically, it cannot be run from the CLP
command mode or the CLP batch mode.
Command syntax
>>-+-HISTORY-+--+---------+--+-----+---------------------------><
'-H-------' +-REVERSE-+ '-num-'
'-R-------'
Command parameters
- REVERSE | R
- Displays the command history in reverse order, with the most-recently
run command listed first. If this parameter is not specified, the
commands are listed in chronological order, with the most recently
run command listed last.
- num
- Displays only the most recent num commands.
If this parameter is not specified, a maximum of 20 commands are
displayed. However, the number of commands that are displayed is also
restricted by the number of commands that are stored in the command
history.
Usage notes
- The value of the DB2_CLP_HISTSIZE registry
variable specifies the maximum number of commands to be stored in
the command history. This registry variable can be set to any value
between 1 and 500 inclusive. If
this registry variable is not set or is set to a value outside the
valid range, a maximum of 20 commands is stored in the command history.
- Since the HISTORY command will always be listed
in the command history, the maximum number of commands displayed
will always be one greater than the user-specified maximum.
- The command history is not persistent across CLP interactive mode
sessions, which means that the command history is not saved at the
end of an interactive mode session.
- The command histories of multiple concurrently running CLP interactive
mode sessions are independent of one another.
