       should also help...

SELECT output, columnar instead of      Issuing Select (and Query) commands from
 keyword list                           the dsmadmc prompt may result in the
                                        report being in Keword: Value sets
                                        instead of tabular, columnar output.
                                        This can be controlled via the explicit
                                        dsmadmc -DISPLaymode= option, but is
                                        also the implicit result of the
                                        combination of the number of database
                                        entry fields (columns) you choose to
                                        report, the column width of each, and
                                        the width of your window. *SM *wants to*
                                        display the results in tabular form, and
                                        is helped in doing so by reducing the
                                        number of fields reports and/or their
                                        column width (via the <ColumnName> AS
                                        ____ construct).  Widening your window
                                        will also help. (In an xterm window, you
                                        can aid this by the use of smaller
                                        fonts: hold down the Ctrl key and then
                                        press down the right mouse button, and
                                        from the VT Fonts list choose a smaller
                                        font.)
                                        You can demonstrate the adaptation by
                                        doing 'SELECT * FROM AUDITOCC' in a
                                        narrow window, which will result in
                                        Keyword: Value sets; then widen it to
                                        get tabular output.
                                        See also: dsmadmc; -DISPLaymode

If I do your 'query node * f=d' on a 1792-dot wide xterminal screen with font
size set to "tiny" results in the output in tabular format.
