The Scan Device Printer Attributes command scans one, generic, or
printer devices for attribute values. This acts as a simple query to
determine the value of attributes of printer devices.
A typical command would be:
SCNDEVPRTA DEVD(*ALL) ATTR(OWNER) SCNVAL(xxx)
A spooled file would be displayed of all printer devices that have
the specified owner.

SCNDEVPRTA Command parameters *CMD
-----------------------------
DEVD The printer device description to be scanned. A
specific name, a generic name, or *ALL for all
printer 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, *SNTP, or *LAN.
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.
MSGQ. The message queue assigned for the printer
device.
MSGQLIB. The library of the message queue.
CTLD. The controller the device is attached to.
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.
AFP. Whether the device is AFP capable.
MODE. The name of the mode used for the device
limits.
ERRMSG.
WCST. The workstation customization object.
WCSTLIB. The workstation customization object
library.
PPRDWR1. The paper drawer 1.
PPRDWR2. The paper drawer 2.
ENVELOPE. The type of envelope used in the third
paper source.
LAN. The driver type used to attach.
USRDFNOBJ. The name of the object used by
applications.
USRDFNOBJL. The library name of the object used by
applications.
USRDFNOBJT. The object type of the object used by
applications.
SYSDRVPGM. The system defined driver program.
TRANSFORM. Whether the host print transform
function is used.
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.
