This might be an RTFM question, in which case, many apologies.

Is there anyway to reference an archive (for retrieval, deletion, etc), purely
by the
text in the description field from the command line?

It's a piece of cake to do from the GUI, but I'm trying to work out how to do a
retrieval
when I've got no X-windows. The archive itself covers a couple of filesystems
so it's
not convenient to have to name them all specifically.

I've tried
 dsmc retrieve -des="some description" -subdir=yes "/*"       and
 dsmc retrieve -des="some description" -subdir=yes "*"        and
 dsmc retrieve -des="some description" -subdir=yes

and none of them seem to work (even I can understand why the last one doesn't!)

Any suggestions *SM genii?

Regards

Robert.
