The long GRB 100814A (Swift/BAT trigger #431605 ; Krimm et al., GCN 11094;
Fermi/GBM trigger #303450610 ; von Kienlin et al., GCN 11099) triggered
the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range
of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 03:50:08.51 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0-1.5s, ending
at T0+19.5s, followed by a weaker emission seen up to T0+150.5s with a
duration
(T90) of about 110 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was
7.14(+1.03/-1.37) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from
T0+0.5s was
2.00(-0.48,+0.40) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.5s to
T0+150.5s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 3.18(+1.03/-0.7) (chi^2/d.o.f = 13.32/15).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
