Description Morgan Rodgers 2018-11-29 13:21:50 MST 
Hi folks,

We make use of squeue's output formatting to create parsable reports for running jobs. We noticed a couple problems with TRES/%b in 18.08.3. 

%b no longer appears in the man pages, which led me to think that it had been removed.

More importantly for some reason passing %b to --format/-o does not output a delimiter when one is specified after the TRES field. For example:

    [vagrant@ood ood]$ squeue -o "%b DELIM %a DELIM %D"
    TRES_PER_NODEACCOUNT DELIM NODES
    N/Aosc001 DELIM 1

Note how the TRES and account fields have been concatenated in both the header and the values.

Tested the attached patch against 18.08.3 source and appears to fix the issue:

$ squeue -o "%b DELIM %a DELIM %D"
TRES_PER_NODE DELIM ACCOUNT DELIM NODES
N/A DELIM (null) DELIM 1
