Re: ICF Programming Snafu's! I Don't want to EVOKE!

Sounds like he may be need to to do BSC.  The receiving system has a pgm
started monitoring a line/ctl/dev.  The sending pgm connects, the controller
connects to the device and the BSC conversation starts.  No EVOKE is
required.  However in BSC if you define ICFDEVE to do BSCEL, then the system
WILL try to issue an EVOKE.

|Andrew,
|
|I assume you are talking about APPC since EVOKE is an APPC thing.  If
|you are using BYSYNC, ignore my message as I know nothing about it.
|
|The EVOKE is what causes the other end to "startup and do its thing".
| This is how APPC works.
|
|If you want want the other end to just sit there (already active) and
|wait for a connection, that is how TCP/IP works.  In fact, there is NO
|equivalent to an EVOKE in TCP/IP.  You must always have a program
|monitoring the address/port.

| << File: vcard.vcf >> I'm trying to simulate connection to a

|have
|to evoke the receiving end from the transmitting AS/400 end.  In

|startup, and answer messages sent by the mainframe.  Any clues as to
