A new 5.2 feature:

Launch the admin command line interface with the new -DATAOnly=Yes option
to suppress the display of TSM product version information and output
column headers (default is -DATAOnly=NO). This option does not require a
5.2 server.

Example:

C:\TSM\baclient>dsmadmc -tcps=ss2 -id=storman -pa=xxxxx query drive

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
