Can anyone help me? I am struggling with all the calls possible to get
information and to get logged on to the TSM server. I want to execute some
queries and retrieve the results in a visual basic program to be able to create
a user interface with limited possibilities. I am a novice in programming with
VB but I want and I have to learn it. Executing the query via a dsmadmc command
in a shell instruction is I think not possible because I have to retrieve not
only the results but also the return codes to be able to interact with the
queries.

I scanned the archive but did not find any usefull information. Am I reinventing
the wheel or is it so simple that I am overlooking the solution? Reading the
manual "Using the Application Program Interface" speaks about C-programs and
headers but I am not a C-programmer.

Thank you for any minor program or any advise or hint,

Michel Engels
