I'm having trouble finding an easy way to do what you want.
1. Get a list of devices DSPOBJD OBJ(*ALL) OBJTYPE(*DEVD) can be output to a datafile
2. A CL program loops through all the devices
2.1. if the device is a printer or a terminal
2.1.1 for printer devices the RTVDEVPRT might provide the data - except for the status
2.1.1 pass data to an rpg program to write to a file
2.1.2 for displays RTVDEVDSP might provide the data - except for the status
2.1.1 pass data to an rpg program to write to a file
I'm not sure where to get the status from but if you want to pursue this we'll track it donw
3. run a query

Hi,

You can use RTVCFGSTS to get the current status of a device.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

The list objects API (QUSLOBJ) should give you what you need.
