Joey you are spot on my friend. Were I more knowledgabkle with the code I'm sure i could explain this better because I know from working at large companies that its fairly common to use commands, snmpgets, etc to pull raw data then format that to a csv or something similar and then import it into a database for others to access via websites or reporting tools.
I've gotten to the point I can pull this data in via scripts, for loops or whatever but getting it into a format that a database or a spreadsheet app likes afterwards has been the tricky part for me.
So to better explain what I'm doing here is the output of a command that tells me most the info I need about a server, its HBAs and the storage it has:
I'm using some simple awk commands to format this data as I listed in the first post. I don't have to use three different files, one would suffice and your cat/tr command combo against that one file would make it one row that I can then redirect to a master list.
So step one of my process would be to:
1. Run the command above in a loop against a list of a few hundred servers.
2. Pipe this data to a temp file per server as the loop is executed
3. Run your cat/tr command against the temp file and >> to my master list
4. Repeat until I have each server in my master list!
This works perfectly for me but being I'm not very knowledgable on the subject I would love to here yours or anyones opinion on how best to do this as I'm sure this is done often by server admins, network guys, etc for various admin reporting.

shell
shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
