Hmmmm......... did you actually notice the ANS1141W when you ran the macro
using "dsmadmc", or only when you executed it manually? If you executed it
manually, did you use the backup-archive command line interface instead of the
Admin command line interface? ANS1141W looks like a backup-archive client
message. I'd expect to see an ANRxxxx message if this was the Admin.

Also, in the "dsmadmc" command you included in your post, I see a '>'
(redirection) symbol in there. That doesn't look like it belongs.

If you run this command:

dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=bkp -outfile=mac.out macro /home/adsmadmn/machchar-macro

what does mac.out contain?

Subject: Insert Machine Characteristics

     Hello all

     I have been tring to insert a machine's characteristics into our ADSM
     server's DRM databse. When I try to do this I keep getting message :
     ANS1141W Unknown command - insert

     I have a file that has all the system information in it. I then build
     ADSM macro commands to insert the info. The file that the command :
     dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=bkp > macro /home/adsmadmn/machchar-macro

     executes looks like this:

     insert machine adsmsrv1 1 characterics="ADSMSRV1 SYSTEM INFORMATION"

     We had this working on v2 and no one has checked it since then. Since
     it was left working and the upgrade to server and client software to
     ver. 3 has been done everyone felt it was still working when quering
     for machine characteristics produced the same info as before. Is there
     a way to tell if this has been updated since the server upgrade. It
     was originally to be updated daily. When I manually went to execute
     the commands I get the above massage.
     Our machine is RISC 6000 model 7013
     Running AIX 4.1.4.0
     ADSM Version 3.1.0.1
     Has DRM lincense on it
