The "query archive" command does not have a "detail" option.  Check
the help or the manual.


If you want everything archived below a directory...

        dsmc q archive /home/lau/ -su=yes

 will do the trick.  You *need* the trailing '/', but you can do
without the '*' and so the quote marks.

        dsmc q archive "/home/lau/*" -su=yes

works as well.




Just to confuse us all, the dsmc program takes arguments in the form
of "-arg=value".  The admin client who uses "arg=value".  <sigh>

For dsmc commands that have two levels of detail (e.g., query
mgmtclass), to get more details you use '-detail'.


[and unlike ADSML, I verified that both of those commands do what I
expect, modulo the directory names and OS (Solaris vs AIX).]
