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.
