Originally RPG IV did not allow you to put empty parens on a function call.
:(  When they added it a few releases later, it had to be an optional
feature. Sadly.

I thought the compiler would complain if you didn't use parens on
function calls.  Is this code checking a field called errno, or is it
running the function errno()?

Perhaps try it as   if errno() = EINTR ?

Also, on the second time through, perhaps you could tell us the value of
recvlen?  Was it 0?
