Re: why was a device varied off? (API?)

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure, but the messages might show up in the history log. Most 
things that go to QSYSOPR end up in the log. You'd need to find out 
which message IDs to look for - if you don't know, you could DSPMSGD 
*ALL of QCPFMSG to *PRINT and then scan through it for the word 
"varied" or "vary".
