Thanks for testing this out for me David using your environment, I'll keep on 
looking then.

The "*" doesn't seem to help any:

tsm: C2TSMSERV>show version c2n11aix *                          
ANR0852E SHOW: No matching file spaces found for node C2N11AIX.

>Anyone else running 5162 and able to use the SHOW VERSION command?

I've never used the SHOW VERSION command before but on my 5.1.6.2
server, a "SHOW VERSION nodename filespacename"  returns output like one
might expect from a show command.
