Can you give me an example of a command that does this?

If you are talking about the ">" addition to the end of a dsmadmc batch
command (on the os command line), that's a feature of the OS.
The "-outfile" option on dsmadmc in batchmode is a special feature of
the admin client only when acting in batch mode.

When I use a ">" in an interactive session, it dumps the output on the
server file system, not the client.

As with other commands I run from my desktop this is not the case. I can
run a command and export it to a file, specifying the complete path if I
want, and that's exactly where it goes on my desktop, not the server. So
why would this one be any different just because if it is the opposite
direction, and if it is shouldn't the help say so?
