Db2 start command message output and return code

If a Db2 database is in RO mode at database level and you issue a -STA DB(DBName) SP(TSName) ACCESS(RW) command via batch, it outputs "DSNTDDIS 'START DATABASE' NORMAL COMPLETION" which is misleading because the table still cannot be loaded therea...
