Dwight, are you certain the text of the message is
"press enter to continue"?

I think the ADSM english admin command line client should print

"more...   (<ENTER> to continue, 'C' to cancel) "
at the bottom of a full screen.

Is there a difference in V2 and V3 behavior here? If no difference, could grep
be doing this to you? If there is a difference it's definately a bug. For
kicks, try EDITOR OFF in dsm.opt file, this will disable the editor function,
ie. command history, etc. This option won't affect NT because the function is
done by the NT shell.

     Jerry, have you noticed that... and I'm guessing that it is in the
     client code, AND all I have on my test box is straight off the CD...
     THAT v3r1m0 with a "dsmadmc -id=xxx -pass=yyy q node | grep blah" you
     either have to route in /dev/null (ie "dsmadmc -id=xxx -pass=yyy q
     node < /dev/null") or hit enter to get it to run... it doesn't detect
     that it is running in the middle of a process stream and sits and
     waits on the "press enter to continue".
     Now I've tried a few different commands that produce enough output to
     fill multiple pages and it does it for all of them.

     Oh, but are you only MVS Jerry ?

     Folks on the list, I'm in summary mode on the list so unless you
     include me specifically I won't see your reply until tomorrow...

     later,
           Dwight
