As a refinement to what Richard suggests, you might try using the
option
format=macro rather than format=raw.  In this case, where you're
essentially copying your scripts en masse between servers, you would be
able to dump all of the commands scripts from the existing server to a
file
with a single command, and re-create all of the scripts on the new
server
by processing that file with the macro command.

Take Richard's final recommendation to heart.  Maintaining the scripts
external to TSM will be worth any additional effort required; the TSM
web
interface to edit scripts leaves a lot to be desired, and there is no
undo...

Greg -  From http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts :

Scripts, move between servers           Do 'Query SCRIPT scriptname
FORMAT=RAW
                                        OUTPUTFILE=____' to a file,
move the
                                        file to the other system, and
then do a
                                        'DEFine SCRIPT ... FILE=____'
to take
                                        that file as input.

Still, the best overall approach is to maintain your complex server
scripts
external to the TSM server and re-import after editing.
