The SET SQLDISPLAYMODE command only "holds" for a given session. Thus when
the admin session from which you issued that command ends, the next admin
session that issues the SELECT command uses the default SQLDISPLAYMODE.
How about combining your SET SQLDISPLAYMODE and SELECT commands into a
single admin macro file, then using the admin MACRO command to process the
macro? (See the Admin Reference for info about the MACRO command.)
Another formatting issue that you might run across is the case where the
command line displays the information in "list" format (each column of
output is displayed on a single line) when you use the interactive admin
CLI, but when the output is redirected, the information is displayed in
"table" (row-column) format. For this case, have a look at the
-DISPLAYMODE option. You can find more about this option in the Admin
Reference.

Subject: 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
