  Another technique to hide admin-id and admin-password

  1) create an ADSM parameter file "include_my_adsm_parmfile"
     which contains a lot of environment variables, for example

     ID_server1="ids1"
     PW_server1="pwids1"
     ID_server2="ids2"
     PW_server2="pwids2"

  2) In your script code the following lines

     . include_my_adsm_parmfile

     #  Id and Password for choosen server
     eval server_id=\"\$ID_$server\"
     eval server_pw=\"\$PW_$server\"


     # make your admin-command

     dsmadmc -s=$server -id=$server_id -password=$server_pw <cmd>
