Re: Anyone Have Experience with API for Retrieve Device DescriptionQDCRDEVD)

[Chuck Lewis <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dave,

I'm familiar with RTVCFGSRC and had thought about using it  (actually have it
executing each evening for EVERYTHING and capturing and daily picture of our
configuration - has proven VERY useful <BG>).

What I have currently is something I wrote a few years ago that ends up giving
us a printout of all devices on a Control Unit by address, etc.

Looks like Rob has sent me some GREAT examples that I will check out.

Thanks anyway !

Chuck
