RE: Socket program problem

I just wanted to thank everyone that gave input on this problem.

We ended up re-writing a small portion of the application. 
The PC Client now tracks the number of records received by counting end of
record tags and watching for end of transmission tag. If all data not
received (no end of transmission tag received) when the connection is lost
it reconnects and passes the count back to the Server and the Server resends
data starting with next set of data records.

Per suggestions given we chose not to use a single character such as X'FF'
to denote end of record since the XML already has a tag at the end of each
record and at the end of the data set.

Thanks again

John

Even though the characters aren't displaying, they are still being sent
from your keyboard to the iSeries program.

If you need to see them, you can probably turn on "Local Echo" in the
preferences of your telnet client.  Otherwise, you can just take it on
faith that what you type is being sent. :)
