Did that. TERSE is on and the log contains only the summary of what is
going on. No file info.

Don't have access to this system. It is an SGI IRIX box and the owners are
very particular about who accesses it.

Get the client's dsmsched.log file (best way);
or query the contents table (slow!).

Is there some reason why you can't ftp over the client's dsmsched.log, so
you can look at it?
