Re: dsmadmc displaymode

I have TSM server version 4.2.1.12, and the help section ends in a
complete sentence:

....
Besides the options listed here, you can also specify any option that is
in
the client options file. Each option must be preceded with a hyphen and
delimited with a space.

tsm: STORMAN_SERVER1>
....

Also, the dsmadmc options are documented in the Administrator's Reference.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

John,
you can get information on the displaymode-option from dsmadmc help 10
(Using Administrative Client Options). It's just a bit strange, dsmadmc
ends this help section just within one sentence - we will never find out
how it ends...
