Well, they got a unsatisfying answer from IBM. the HOSTSCHPTY parm on

*LOCAL, ROI's software worked.

That suggests to me that something in the network DID change--despite assurances to the contrary.

When *REMOTE is set the system will first use the named DNS servers to resolve TCP names. Either the name in question has been removed from those servers or the servers themselves are unreachable.

When *LOCAL is set the system will check the local hosts table first. In this case that must satisfy the request

In both cases, if the preferred method fails to resolve the name, the secondary method should be used but perhaps it is taking so long to perform the *REMOTE that things time-out before *LOCAL is checked?
