CLI stands for Call Level Interface. It is a set of API allowing programmer to
access DB2 and execute dynamic SQL against it.

For more information search online documentation available at:

CLI = Call Level Interface. It is an API to let an application communicate
with DB2. There is also an SQL standard for it. MS choose another name -
namely ODBC - but it is pretty much the same.
