Re: Cannot automatically select virtual device.

most likely the 2nd part of the msg - the display type not supported
What version/release of os/400
could you have an old emulation asking for a non-supported device type?
or if you have Qautovrt set to 100, and 100 exist (in use or not) and none
not in use for requested device type.
i can't remember the job log where the details are.
