Dynamic Display Device Names

Here's the situation...

     Dynamic display devices get created in the form of QPADEVxxxx. Some,
but not all, workstations have been configured to use static names for
printer control reasons. As long a the workstations with the static names
remain connected there is no problem.

     The problem, which I've seen happen myself, is that one of the
'reserved' names will often be assigned to a workstation configured to be
issuing a dynamic name in the form of QPADEVxxxx. Instead the TN5250
session is assigned a reserved display device name and reports are queued
to the wrong printer. Not to mention that the workstation configured with
this 'reserved' name is unable to connect while the device name is in use.

     Any ideas? TIA,
