The Scan Device Display Attributes command scans one, generic, or all
display devices for attribute values. This acts as a simple query to
determine the value of attributes of display devices.
A typical command would be:
SCNDEVDSPA DEVD(*ALL) ATTR(PRTDEV) SCNVAL(*SYSVAL)
A spooled file would be displayed of all display devices that have
use *SYSVAL for a Printer Device.
SCNDEVDSPA escape messages you can monitor for

DEVD The display device description to be scanned. A
specific name, a generic name, or *ALL for all
display devices must be specified.
ATTR The printer device attribute to be scanned for. The
value must be one of the following:
DEVCLS. Device class. The scan value must be *LCL,
*RMT, *VRT, or *SNTP.
TYPE. The device type. The scan value must be the
type requested.
MODEL. The model of the device. The scan value
must be the model requested.
OWNER. Owner of the device description. The scan
value must be the owner requested.
CRTDATE. The create date of the device description.
The SCNVAL must be a valid date in job format.
LCLADR. The local device address.
SWTSET. The switch setting of the address.
PORT. The port number of the address. 5 digits
must be entered.
LCLLOCNAME. The local location name.
RMTLOCNAME. The remote location name.
RMTID. The remote network ID of the device.
PRTDEV. The print device assigned to the display
device.
OUTQ. The output queue assigned for the display
device.
OUTQLIB. The library of the output queue.
MSGQ. The message queue assigned for the display
device.
MSGQLIB. The library of the message queue.
CTLD. The controller the device is attached to.
PASSTHRU. Passthru information. The scan value
must be *NO, *5250 (5250 emulation), *VRT (virtual
devices not including TELNET), *TELNET, or
*STRPASTHR (STRPASTHR command has been used).
ONLINE. Whether the device is to be placed online
at IPL. The scan value must be *YES or *NO.
TEXT. The text description. The SCNOPR must be
*CT. Both the SCNVAL and the text description of
the object will be folded to upper case before
scanning.
SCNVAL The value to be scanned for. Up to 10 bytes may be
entered.
To scan for non-blank entries enter ' ' and
SCNOPR(*NE).
See the ATTRIBUTE parameter for what is valid for
the scan value.
SCNOPR The scan operator to be used. *EQ is the default.
*NE, *GT, *GE, *LT, *LE, or *CT (contains) may be
entered. Non-meaningful functions such as scanning
the ONLINE attribute (supports only *YES or *NO) for
a scan operator other than *EQ/*NE are rejected.
OUTPUT How to output the results. * is the default to
display the spooled file if the command is entered
interactively. The spooled file is deleted after it
is displayed.
If the command is entered in batch or *PRINT is
specified, the spooled file is output and retained.
