Mark's response answers the specific case of the original
question quite well, but I'm curious if anyone knows if there is
a general solution to the question.

Having not upgraded any of our production servers past 3.1, I
only recently began looking at the rudimentary scripting that was
added with TSM and I wanted to do exactly this type of operation:
run a query, and use the result of the query in a subsequent
operation. I couldn't find any way that this was possible, and
ultimately had to abandon what I wanted to do and instead wrote a
(very redundant) 100 line macro file.

Just curious if anyone else has a generalized solution to the
problem at hand.
