Add the following to the SELECT:
FETCH FIRST 12 ROWS ONLY

For context, from the earlier message, that means:
QSH CMD('db2 "select * from lib.file FETCH FIRST 12 ROWS ONLY"')

FWiW: The db2 facility has been noted previously on the list and on USENET; e.g. an INSERT versus a SELECT is noted here:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200610/msg00886.html

Note: AFaIK the db2 function\utility in qshell exists only to support some operating system code; i.e. it probably should not be expected to suffice generally for any SQL statement nor general report writing. I have not looked for any documentation; there may be a statement of what should be expected to function and how it should function. If not documented, then IMO it is best to assume it is effectively unsupported; albeit I expect that development would likely put some effort into correcting something that /worked/ previously, but not with priority.
