No, it appears that the list of commands is simply preparing your environment for use with your Informix database.

whats differece between Gui and splat? because its related to informix i have a script that runs on gui and not splat

You lost me completely; what's a splat (command line since you contrasted it with GUI)?

This forum may better assist you.

go to iiug.org for informix forums.
Alternatively try "sams publication for informix" on google and you get the most and the best and I dare say a complete guide to informix.
Easy way, put your question more cleanly to me and I will answer it, I work as an informix DBA too
