Sum - we run an external scheduler to do our daily TSM admin cycle:
move bkup data from disk to tape, then ba stg, then ba db, then ejects to
the vault, etc.
We use an external scheduler for this. When we upgraded our ba client (that
includes
dsmadmc), and it seems because the scroll prompt changed, we could no longer
respond correctly to the scroll prompt, causing a loop, causing us to have
to copy overlay the dsmadmc executable.
**
you may be predisposed to this condition, FYI.
Are any others at 4.2.1.0 or higher, have an external scheduler (what, if
so), and
don't see the problem?

apar that changed our production world yesterday:
IC31087 - ADMIN COMMAND LINE OF TSM 4.2.0.0 RUN IN GERMAN
          SHOWS 'A'=ABBRECHEN (CANCEL) ON SCROLLPROMPT BUT
          ONLY 'C' WORKS.

Thanks in advance.

more detail:

Abstract: batch-command line interface changed

We have an external scheduler.
We upgraded our TSM client from
Tivoli Storage Manager
Command Line Administrative Interface - Version 4, Release 1, Level 2.0
to
Tivoli Storage Manager
Command Line Administrative Interface - Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.23

and the output of a multipage...command line output acts differently and
fills our scheduler log bringing our scheduler to its knees.

old batch output worked great:

new one, more or less loops on us:

Per the above...there is a notable difference:
"old" level (scrollprompt):
more...   ( to continue, 'C' to cancel)
"new" level (scrollprompt):
 more...   (<ENTER> to continue, 'C' to cancel)
the scroll prompt now has <ENTER>
