You may want to consider using the ODBC approach and retrieve the information in a well defined format. I most cases you'll be able to extract the same information from the database via the ODBC interface as you can with the dsmadmc select command. You will, of course, have to use a platform where there is an ODBC driver for the TSM database available. Regards Peter
