I need to list the latest baseline for each component in a clearcase UCM stream one by one. I am aware of the "%[latest_bls]p" option used with -fmt . The problem is that it lists all the latest baselines for all components together.

What I need is, given component name C and stream name S, display the latest baseline for component C in the stream S.

Thanks for your help.

If you consider the fmt_ccase options, %[latest_bls]CXp will always list the latest baseline for all components of a given Stream.

So it is best to parse the result, and for each baseline name, to display its component name:

cleartool describe -fmt "%[component]Xp" aBaselineName@/aPVob

Also:

%[latest_bls]CXp seems to be the only way to get directly the latest baseline, and it is always for all components.
What you can also do is list all baselines for a given component and stream: 

 cleartool lsbl -comp C -stream S

, and select the last one.
That should be more in line with what you want (ie use only your 6 component names instead of all that parsing/grep'ing)
