You didn't say which platform you're on, but the idea is that you can
prepare a select statement, then issue it from the command line like this...

        dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=<passwd> -outfile=report.txt select blah
from blah where blah

There are other switches that control the format and/or style of the output.
If you're in the UNIX world, you can schedule this through cron. There are
also ways to define scripts to TSM, something that one of the other kind
listmembers will discuss...

For specs on the command line options, Check out the Admin Reference (Page
24 of the UNIX Admin Ref for v4.1) under the heading "Using Administrative
Client Options".
