You could do this using dsmadmc in batch mode to run the import command
directly, if batch mode works as documented in the ADSM release level
you are running. It does not work as documented on the Version 1 server
at our site; it has some kind of undocmented restriction on the length
of the command line. I have so far spent three days trying to find out
the exact nature of the restriction, and whether IBM plans to fix it or
to declare it a feature.
