TMSSCMDSTRING
The Environmental Variable TMSSCMDSTRING changes the behavior of Command Line Programs to take the value set in TMSSCMDSTRING and write that string, along with the variables to stdout.
This allows you to write commands automatically using the value TMSSCMDSTRING along with the values contained in the output from the Command Line Programs.
Example
Using TMSS10MoveList output as an example, the standard output displays Volume-ID, Current and Target location as well as move times and attributes.

When the Variable TMSSCMDSTRING is set before the execution of the Command Line program (in this example TMSS10MoveList) it modifies the output from the standard report, to that of a custom string that can include output variables.
Setting TMSSCMDSTRING to an ejection script for a TSM instance, listing all Volume-ID's that need to be ejected for processing and transport to the Vault.
