Well Todd, This is the TSM default. In order to get the output in the required format you need to use the -outfile option. This way you will get the output as if you are at the admin command line.
Like this: dsmadmc -id=.... -pa=.... -outfile=<path_to_outfile> "your select goes here" Ilja G.

Verzonden: maandag 3 december 2001 13:44 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: SQL Formatting on AIX scripts - SQLDISPLAYMODE TSM Server: AIX 4.3.3 I have seen this issue addressed in the adsm archives, but never a clear answer on how to solve it. I plan to use a script in a cron job on AIX, but I need to have SQLDISPLAYMODE set to WIDE. Here is the part of my script where I attempt to set the SQLDISPLAYMODE to WIDE and issue the query. dsmadmc -id=xxxxxx -pas=xxxxxx "set sqldisplaymode wide" dsmadmc -id=xxxxxx -pas=xxxxxx "select events.node_name, events.s tatus, nodes.contact from events, nodes where events.domain_name='SERVER' and ev ents.schedule_name='SERVER_0300_0500' and (events.status='Missed' or events.stat us='Failed') and events.node_name=nodes.node_name" > $eventtmp I have no problems when I issue these commands from the Admin Command Line, but through the AIX script I always get SQL format of NARROW in the results of my query. Any suggestions on how to get the SQLDISPLAYMODE WIDE command to work in the AIX script would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Todd M.
