Hi, All

while i've just been starting to write a little script to check what
savesets have been created in the last day, i've started to notice
inconsistencies in the output from the mminfo command. i started with:

  mminfo -a -t "last day"

then to get it in a more manageable order i tried:

  mminfo -a -t "last day" -ocn

the problem is that these 2 forms of the command give different amounts
of output. the first one gives 372 lines and the second one gives 423.
i've repeated it a couple of times to be sure. there's no way to diff
this so i'm wondering what could account for the discrepancy? it gets
stranger still because with a custom report format such as

  mminfo -a -t "last day" -ocn -r
"client,name,level,savetime,nfiles,fragsize"

i get a whopping 5519 lines. is there any reasonable explanation for
something like this? or does the mminfo command do something drastically
different than i imagine?
for what it may be worth i'm running Networker 6.0 on AIX 4.3.3
TIA
