Re: Deleting client access 'auto-created' display devices.

John,

Well, if you can be sure that you one to delete all your varied off QPADEV*
entries, you could write a small CL program that process a file with all
your QPADEV devices and try to delete them. Those that are active get
a CPF2616 error message. Something like this:

DSPOBJD OBJ(QPADEV*)
OBJTYPE(*DEVD)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(QTEMP/LISTQPADEV)

(CL)
PGM
DCLF QTEMP/LISTQPADEV

LOOP: RCVF
MONMSG CPF0864 EXEC(GOTO EOJ)
DLTDEVD &ODOBNM
MONMSG CPF2616
GOTO LOOP
EOJ: ENDPGM


This is from memory, as we did this some years ago with a "cleanup" of a
customer's system. As always, please make sure your backups are up to date
before any mass delete of objects :-)

When our sys admin does the following command

WRKCFGSTS *DEV IS*

she sees a bunch of devices and she would like to
delete the ones with a status of 'VARIED OFF'.

In order to keep things cleaned up.

Is there an easy way to do this?
(other than by hand, ie taking option 8 then option 4)
