Yes, the cast doesn't handle this, but padding the heading with blanks (see my note below) should do the trick.
Also see my note below about the -DISPLAYMODE option. -DISPLAYMODE=LIST will "force" the output to the "list-style" format as your output shows. If you prefer tabular output (one record per line), you can use -DISPLAYMODE=TABLE.

While this example doesn't wrap, it does illustrate a method you can use to adjust the output column widths. STANDARD WIDTH: select filespace_name, node_name, capacity from filespaces FILESPACE_NAME NODE_NAME CAPACITY ------------------ ------------------ -------------------- \\raibeck\c$ RAIBECK 44481.4 CUSTOM WIDTH (40 columns for FILESPACE_NAME): select filespace_name as "FILESPACE NAME ", node_name, capacity from filespaces FILESPACE NAME NODE_NAME CAPACITY ---------------------------------------- ------------------ -------------------- \\raibeck\c$ RAIBECK 44481.4 Note: The "as" specification for FILESPACE_NAME is padded with blanks to bring the entire column width to 40. When running in batch mode, if you want the display to appear in tabular format rather than list format, put the select command in a macro, say, "select.mac". Then invoke dsmadmc like this: dsmadmc -id=adminid -pa=xxxxx -displaymode=table macro select.mac or like this this to redirect output to a file: dsmadmc -id=adminid -pa=xxxxx -displaymode=table macro select.mac > select.out 2>&1 Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

How do I increase the output field size for filespace_name so I can output the filespace_name along with quantity and node_name?
