RELATED IDEAS

Enhance query content command

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Please make the output of the query contents
command ready for loading into Excel. Add
or change fields, specifically -

1. Add the volume name as the first field.

2. change the stored size value to just the
decimal number, don't convert it to a
formatted string such as "Stored Size:
1,259.75 M". This interferes with sorting in
Excel.

3. change the segment info to a character
string. Excel always didsplays '1/1' as a
date, i.e "Jan-1". Just report it as "n of
n".

4. Omit the hex values for file name and file
space.


IMPLEMENTATION SUGGESTION.

Add a parameter to the query contents
command: Excelready=[yes|no],
default=no for compatability.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, at this point we do not plan to change the output of the query content command, this can be achieved today by doing some post processing on the current output
