Chances are fair to good that QINTER has a workstation type entry that includes the type the scanners are created as. This means that both QINTER and SCANNER can potentially allocate the devices. If I remember rightly, when a device can be allocated by multiple subsystems, the last subsystem to start gets the device. So, you can take the scanner workstation type out of QINTER (remove the duplicate subsystem possibility) or end and start SCANNER after QINTER comes up (have the last subsystem up grab the device.) --buck
