John, you can get information on the displaymode-option from dsmadmc help 10 (Using Administrative Client Options). It's just a bit strange, dsmadmc ends this help section just within one sentence - we will never find out how it ends...
Regards, Michael tsm: >help 10 Using Administrative Client Options ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using Administrative Client Options In all administrative client modes, the administrative client options modify your administrative client session responses. The following administrative client options can be specified with the DSMADMC command and are valid from an administrative client session only: -DISPLaymode=LISt or TABle Allows you to force the QUERY output to tabular or list format regardless of the command line window column width. If you want the output to go to a file and you are using the -DISPLaymode option, use redirection to write to the file. Do not use the -OUTfile option. -ID=userid Specifies the administrator's user ID. -PAssword=password Specifies the administrator's password. -NOConfirm Specifies that you do not want TSM to request confirmation before processing commands that affect the availability of the server or data managed by the server. -Quiet Specifies that TSM does not display standard output messages to your screen. However, when you use this option, certain error messages still appear. -CONsolemode Specifies that TSM runs in console mode. All unsolicited server console output is echoed to your screen. -MOUNTmode Specifies that TSM runs in mount mode. All server removable-media mount messages are echoed to your scre en. -Itemcommit Specifies that TSM commits commands inside a script or a macro as each command is processed. -OUTfile=filename Specifies that output from a server query is redirected to a specified file. In batch mode, output is redirected to a file you specify and the format of the output matches the format of the output on your screen. In interactive, console, or mount mode sessions, output displays on your screen. -OUTfile Specifies that output from a server query is formatted one line per query. This option is available in batch mode only. -COMMAdelimited Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as comma-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECT command). The comma-separated value format is a standard data format which can be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets, data bases, and report generators. -TABdelimited Specifies that any tabular output from a server query is to be formatted as tab-separated strings rather than in readable format. This option is intended to be used primarily when redirecting the output of an SQL query (SELECT command). The tab-separated value format is a standard data format which can be processed by many common programs, including spreadsheets, databases, and report generators. Besides the options listed here, you can also specify any option that is in the client options file. Each option must be preceded with a hyphen and tsm: > John O Neall wrote: > > Where is the doc on the dsmadmc "displaymode" option? > > Why is there neither a man nor a -h option on this command?
