hi,

I have installed db2 runclient on a pc that connects to a db2 server on another pc.

when i login to the pc which has client on it with a username that has administrative rights on that pc ..i can use db2 command window and db2 command processor fine.

but if i login with the username that doesn't have administrative rights, and when i try to access db2 command window ..it gives me a message

DB21652N error : external File I/O error occured.

can anyone let me know why i am getting this error and what might be the solution for this?

the database i am using is windows version of DB2 7.2

thank you
Raj

the error looks like this:

DB2CMD.EXE->0
SQL1652N FILE I/O ERROR OCCURED.


thanks,
Raj

Do you have the Messages and Codes manuals? The manuals are downloadable from the IBM website and can be searched with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

SQL1652N File I/O error occurred.

Explanation: Error occurred either opening,
reading, writing, or closing a file.

User Response: Check the db2diag.log for
details. Also, check for disk full conditions, file
permissions, and operating system errors.

Thank you marcus,

The problem was with the permissions to the SQLLIB folder. As soon as i gave the write permission to every user for the folder SQLLIB , everything went fine...
