RE: [Bulk] QDCRDEVD API Not Working as Advertised (or is it just me?)

Nope, Mark, same results.

However, I was finally able to get with one of the guys who developed our
POS. When they ran the program at the stores, it returned the correct
(static) IP address. After much musing and scratching of heads, we figured
that the address that I got locally was the router here. The PCs in the
office are configured to obtain an address automagically. But why it is
returning the router's address rather than 192.168.1.110, which is what I
see when I run ipconfig, is beyond me.

But it does work, as I said, when run from the retail stores' PCs.

Hi, Jerry:

It's not just you; I just downloaded that example, compiled it, and it
does not work as expected for me, either. *:-o*

Not sure what's wrong with that example ...

So, I just posted a version that works ... here:

HTH,

I have been trying to use the QDCRDEVD API to get the IP address used by a
workstation. I took CL code samples posted here and a sample program from
IBM. The latter can be found at

5d8be4 which I just copied and pasted, compiled and ran.



The issue that I am having is that no matter what device id (job) I pass

to

the CL I always get 10.1.10.11. Doesn't matter if it is a dynamic device
created by Client Access, such as QPADEV0004, or a static device name,

such

as D2 [me].



We have>20 retail stores that connect to our system (V5R2) over the 'Net
with Client Access. Each store has a static ip address so I was hoping to
be able to identify each store based upon their IP address when they

signed

in. I have not run this at any of the stores, only local devices.



Any idea why everything gets reported as 10.1.10.11?
