RE: Capture IP address of handheld scanner

So these are 5250-emulation scanners (perhaps Telnet or whatever) not a barcode
scanner that attaches via USB to the PC and is effectively just a supplement to
the keyboard.
In that case the user ID of the scanner session would be the user ID you wanted.
Right? And thus, the IP address of the device would be that of the scanner.
So within the application of the job that is connected to the scanner, you'd
code something like this:
       /copy isockets/qcpysrc,isockets
      D dottedIP        S             15A   
      C                   callp     GetDevIP(*OMIT : dottedIP)

In this example, the *OMIT tells the procedure to return the dotted IP address
of the device associated with the job. You could also put a hard device name in
there if you wanted to. If you're like me and can't stand the "*OMIT" thing, do
this instead:

       /copy isockets/qcpysrc,isockets
      D dottedIP        S             15A   
      C                   callp     GetDevIP('*' : dottedIP)

Same results as first example.

Hi Bob,

The scanners are signed out daily.  They each have a static IP.  We can 
then find out who scanned a label by referencing the scanner sign out 
sheet for that particular day.  Then we can make sure that who ever 
scanned the a label is the same person who signed out the scanner.  If 
they don't match, then the person signing out the scanner is using a 
signon that's not theirs.

Frank,
The GetDevIP() subprocedure will return the device IP for a named device.
Its in iSockets (www.isockets.net)
I don't understand the context of your second statement; how does knowing 
whos'
sharing user IDs related to knowing the IP of a scanner?

Has anyone here developed an RPG program/routine to capture the IP address 

of a handheld scanner?

We have a users that are sharing user id's.  We'd like to know who's 
sharing user id's and with whom.

Thanks,
