How do I force a query output to a file to be one item per line?

I'm sorry to repeat a question, because I thought I remembered seeing the
answer to this question a week or two ago. But I can't find it in my notes.

Often when I run a query f=d I get different layouts if I run it interactively
or direct the output to a file. This is spectacularly different in the query
"q stg stgpoolname f=d". When the output goes to a tty the result is nice,
easy to parse, one item to a line. When the output goes to a file I get a
table that is (if I counted correctly) 460 columns wide, but even so some of
the items are split across two lines!

As an alternative, when I run a command in a script and pipe the output, it
still puts out "(Enter to continue, 'C' to cancel)" and waits for a newline.
How can I get it to just dump the output through the pipe without paging?

ADSM server release is 3.1.2.20, command line interface 3.1.0.0, running on
AIX 4.1.5 and 4.3.0.0.

Thanks,
Kai.
