Boy, you hit a nerve with me. I've got this dusty old memory of being able to
take over & use a device that hasn't been signed on.
I wrote a quick example, which I'll include here as it is quite short. In
order for this to work, you have to know the device ID you want to take over.
For the sample, I used QPADEV0006. Substitute your own device ID.
Now, when you run the program, the display you want to take over must not be
signed on, or you will get an error. The example code sends the time to the
display and updates every 15 seconds. One of the neat things about it is that
the program can be submitted to batch & it will still work great.
Source member called DSPF:
A DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3)
A R SCR01
A INVITE
A CA03(03 'Exit')
A 23 3'F3=Exit'
A DSPATR(HI)
A 12 35TIME
When you create the display file, you must set the DEV parm to your display
device:
DEV(QPADEV0006). For the example to work properly, also set WAITRCD(15).
RPG program called RPG:
FDSPF CF E WORKSTN
F KNUM 1
F KID #DEV
I 'QPADEV0006' C $DEV
C*
C MOVEL$DEV #DEV
C** $DEV ACQ DSPF
C*
C *IN03 DOWEQ'0'
C WRITESCR01
C READ DSPF 5051
C END
C*
C SETON LR
Note that the device ID is also coded into the program on the 'I'
specification. Change it as necessary for your situation.

Rich
