Dashes in scm status flags
The command to list status always shows status with dashes and the status flags as described in this table.
What do those dashes mean ? And, can the characters for status flags come at any position of the four dashes ? That is, for the changeset 1035 above, can the status be ever reported as --*@ ?

No. Each status flag position signifies a certain state of the changeset.
In the change set status flags, first flag '*' indicates that the change set is current. If the change set is not current we put a '-' indicating not current. Similarly, second flag is for conflict '!' or '-', third flag is for potential conflict '#' or '-' and the last flag is whether the change set is active or complete '@' or '$'. Effectively '-' means no information to display for that state. The information about these flags are at this link... http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.scm.doc%2Ftopics%2Fc_scm_cli.html

The link to the infocenter doesn't say anything about the flags being positional (useful information that should be added IMO) and the information you provided is for Change Sets. What about the status flags for Changes: and Conflicts:?

Baseline: (2376) 2 "snap1"
