I seem to remember, unless I had a very vivid dream of this, that Tivoli
introduced a way to get the filenames for a backup/archive from a file
on the command line.  I know I can do something like

        xargs -n 20 command <filename

but we are talking thousands of files here apparently.  Thanks for any
info.

P.S.  I searched msgs.adsm.org and could not find what I was looking
for.
