Error description

• When customer open the Command Editor directly with the 'db2ce'
  command and try to open a file, there are no file systems
  available to choose from in the "Look in" drop down area.
  
  The problem occurs when we try to open a file from Command
  Editor when no DAS is installed with current DB2 product
  installation. As of now, we are using DAS to load the local
  system.

Problem summary

• IF COMMAND EDITOR IS OPENED DIRECTLY USING DB2CE CMD, AND TRY TO
  OPEN A FILE, THERE ARE NO FILE SYSTEMS TO CHOOSE FROM.
  

Problem conclusion

• When customer open the Command Editor directly with the 'db2ce'
  command and try to open a file, there are no file systems
  available to choose from in the "Look in" drop down area.
  
  The problem occurs when we try to open a file from Command
  Editor when no DAS is installed with current DB2 product
  installation. As of now, we are using DAS to load the local
  system.
  

Temporary fix

• Even though a local DAS does not exist, it is possible to get
  the Local System option to display by cataloging a local admin
  node.  The node will show up in the Control Center list, but
  will be pointing to a DAS that does not exist.  The Local System
  option will be enabled as a result.
  
  Run a command such as:
  DB2 CATALOG ADMIN LOCAL NODE LOCALADM
