The point is that, the larger the table you have to search, the longer it will 
take and the greater the impact on your TSM server.  Unless you have a small 
amount of data stored in TSM, such searching and reporting is prohibitive.  In 
any case, there's usually no real purpose to such reporting, particularly from 
the TSM server, in that people involved with the client know that data will be 
expiring, per agreed-upon policies.  Further, client personnel can perform spot 
queries on their own, to check areas of interest.
