Re[4]: PC or Workstation

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Yep, and if the PC is CA/400 via TCP/IP, this probably won't work 
     again. But if they're using plain old 5250 emulation, then the PC 
     really isn't an "intelligent" workstation anyway. 
     
     There's too much of this that we don't know, like connection type, 
     client software(CA, Rally!, Rumba, WinAPPC, Etc..), and what type 
     of work needs to be accomplished (file transfer, RCmd, dtaqs, 
     etc...). What we really need is a job attribute that'll describe 
     session capabilities.

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.

|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..........
