Hello,

There's actually an option, -outfile=filename, but it seems limited to the
dsmadmc (and perhaps dsmc) command(s). With this option, output is
formatted as for a listing and redirected to a file, as if you would have
used the '>' redirection, but unlike using '>' no input is necessary to
scroll down pages. If you just specify -outfile, output is not redirected
to a file, but you still don't need any input, adsm shows the complete
result at once. 
Anyway, this doesn't remove adsm headers and footers and you still need
filters to get a clean result. But as the output is only one logical page,
those filters may be limited to head and tail at most cases.

Hth,
