I have an RPG program that does this for devices... you can adapt for your usage.

The premise is creating a spooled file using the appropriate command, then using SQL to load a table.

Mine does this:
1. Creates a spool file by running command: WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
2. Creates a pre-defined table in QTEMP using CRTDUPOBJ (table is DEVLIST)
3. Loads that table from the spool file data using SQL

Exec Sql Insert into DEVLIST
SELECT :sessID,
ORDINAL_POSITION,
SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,2,10),
SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,23,4),
TRIM(SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,32,20)),
SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,72,10),
SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,87,6),
SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,57,10)
FROM TABLE(SYSTOOLS.SPOOLED_FILE_DATA(
JOB_NAME => :jobName,
SPOOLED_FILE_NAME => :splName,
SPOOLED_FILE_NUMBER => :splNbr))
WHERE SUBSTR(SPOOLED_DATA,23,4) = '*DEV'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION;

HTH,
Greg

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Sample program to output a list of all printer status on the system.

I need to create a program to monitor the status of printers.

I did not find a SQL option that would have made it easy. There are some
API's but I could not locate rough info to get me going.

Does anyone have an example of a program that monitors the status of
printers?

I do not want to use WRKWTR *PRINT as that creates way too many print files.

TIA
