WIth IDS 7.31, when writing scripts, I used
echo "select tabname from systables " |dbaccess blah
This would yield
tabname

table_1
table_2
....
table_n

WITH IDS 9.3 the same command yields
tabname table_1
tabname table_2
.....
tabname table_n

If you have encountered this and have resolved this to fit your scripts, kindly share the information. For small number of scripts I could have possbily changed the scripts to yank out the first column, but interested in other solutions, since I use a whole lotta scripts around here.
