Is your feature request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe.
Limitation

Describe the experience you'd like
I would like to execute DB2 utilities from ZOWE CLI. Like Load and Unload, Reorg, Runstat, Copy, Recover, Report, etc. Those are usually part of our automation scripts.

Describe alternatives you've considered
zowe db2 utility uload tablespace --tablespace --hlq --from

--fields --when ....

(of course I can execute them by running a JCL, but having a command for it would make programming easier)

Additional context

@zszabo14 - many thanks for raising this enhancement request. The DB2 CLI is part of the https://github.com/zowe/zowe-cli-db2-plugin repository so I'll copy this issue there so the squad who looks after the plugin can respond to the issue.

I forgot to add: BIND

You can invoke utilities by calling SYSPROC.DSNUTILS

@spufidoo ... of course for each zowe command you can use a JOB...
