I was able to sort that out, however could not get back to this post yesterday to confess. You are spot on, that was the issue.

Hi Jim,
Check if the "minus" (or "dash") sign in your command was changed into something that looks similar but is a completely different character:
Your command:
date ; pwd ; db2cm -create -instance db2inst1 –host server01 ; date
How (I think) it should look:
date ; pwd ; db2cm -create -instance db2inst1 -host server01 ; date
Hope this helps!
Regards, Damir

Hello Community,
I am likely missing something simple, so if you quickly see it in what I have posted here please let me know. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. I'll start following the trail and update with what I find.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
