Of course there is.  It all depends upon what you have coded as the Event 
Log Message.  From the way this is formatted, I would guess that it says 
something like
        $E $G $S $# args: $*
which, if you read he man page on trapd.conf, says to display
$E -- the enterprise name (ibm3584MIBTraps)
$G -- the generic traps id (6)
$S -- the specific trap id (2)
$# -- the number of trap variables (8)
"args :"  this is just literal text added to make things readable
$* -- list all trap variables in order preceded by their MIB OIDs, for 
example [1] private.enterprises.ibm.ibmProd.182.1.2.11.0.0 (OctetString): "THIS 
IS 
A TEST"

If you don't want to see all the variables, then you can just code entries 
for the ones you want, using xnmtrap to edit trapd.conf.
Pick the ones you want, 1 - 8.  Do you just want to see the contents? Then 
code them as $1, $2, $3 ... $8.
Want to see the MIB OIDs too, as above?  Then code them as $-1, $-2, $-3, 
... $-8.  Just want them preceded by the variable number in square 
brackets like this [1]?   Then code them as $+1, $+2, $+3, ... $+8 as the 
man page says.  The ones you don't include won't be shown in the message. 
You can wrap as much or as little fixed literal text around them as you 
want, to make a readable message.  From the look of this, my guess is that 
just 
        $8
would be enough.

Hope this helps

NetView 6.0.3    AIX 4.3.3
I have a device that is sending traps to NetView and the trap messages have 7 
args. Which result in a 10 line message in the trapd.log. I am interested in 
doing 
some other things with these messages. Is there a way to remove the new lines 
in the Event Log Message section of 
the Modify Event window so the trap comes through as one line?
Here is a sample from the trapd.log
