Examples
To invoke the help facility for the last screen displayed, issue the HELP
command without options, as in
SQLMONITOR OVERVIEW => HELP
You can use a question mark instead of the HELP command, as in:
SQLMONITOR OVERVIEW => ?
To get general information on SQLMON from within the help facility, use
the following command:
SQLMONITOR HELP OVERVIEW => MAIN
In the last example, you do not need to enter the keyword HELP, since you
are already in the help facility.
SQLMONITOR OVERVIEW => HELP MAIN
The following command displays information about the fields on the IO
screen:
SQLMONITOR OVERVIEW => HELP IO INFO
To get help on the SET DBENVIRONMENT command, you can issue:
SQLMONITOR OVERVIEW => HELP SET DBENV
To exit the help facility and return to the subsystem prompt, you would
issue
SQLMONITOR HELP OVERVIEW => EXIT
