RE: Check to see if TCP/IP is up

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Ken:

Although the risk may be negligible, keep in mind that the CLP does not tell 
whether TCP/IP is active or not; rather, it tells whether a job named QTCPIP is 
active or not -- a job with that name _can_ come from anyone and be doing 
anything.

If this is the route you want to take, I'd suggest simply calling the Retrieve 
Configuration Status (QDCRCFGS) API with the name of your TCP/IP network 
device. Check the returned status to see if it's 'ACTIVE' and maybe check the 
returned job name to see if it's active under job QTCPIP. Much simpler and even 
less risk though still not eliminated.
