Re: Re[2]: PC or Workstation

Eric:
That still would not tell you anything if the PC was running a terminal
emulator.  the STRPCO only works if you are peer to peer connected via SNA.

|     Hmmmm. I can't test it right now, but what happens if you run
|     STRPCO (Start PC Organizer). I can't remember if it returns an

|There isn't a reliable way to determine if you have a PC attached, I
|don't believe... You can get the device type from feedback area in
|rpg but that only supplies type, which any reliable emulation program
|would "have" to look like in order to work... You could do it through
|hook & crook by keeping a table somewhere, but I suspect that's not what
|you are looking for..... Unless you have a Large number of the same type
|of dumb terminals and just a few pc's, then you could sort of keep track
|that way... but that means "hard coded"...
|
|One other way comes to mind.......little messy but it would work.....
|
|Change all device names that are pc's to somthing you could check for
|in a program,,, ie: PC001, PC002, etc...... That would depend on whether
|you have naming standards for devices...... but you could then retrieve
|the device name in the feedback area,,, scan for the "PC" portion and
|do what ever it is you want to do.. if you find a PC......
|
|It ain't pretty... but it would work..........
