Hi, Kai.
If you're trying to script/parse the output,
dsmadmc -id=id -pa=password -comma [out=filename] "select * from actlog"
will put everything on a single comma-delimited line which I find is very
easy to parse.

Subject: Column width in "select message from actlog"
When I "query actlog" I get the full text of messages. Some of the
hardware error messages go for 3 or 4 lines (on my 132 column window)
by the time it lists the sense codes then interprets the sense code.
But when I "select * from actlog" the longer messages get chopped off
after 2 1/2 lines.
Reading Mr. Sims' Quickfacts (thanks again, Richard) I note that the
default wide mode is 250 characters, and that would be about right. I
know of the trick to "select message as 'message <with 400 spaces>'"
but I'm not really happy at the thought of forcing all the messages to
report as that long. (And I haven't tried it, but I suspect that ADSM
will not be happy with that long of a line either.)
Does anyone have another suggestion for getting the complete text of
the message out of a "select ... from actlog" or do I need to just go
ahead and parse a "query actlog"?
