CWBPING ( PING by port # ) in a CL program

[jmoreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello all,

We need to run a chewck on specific port numbers every so often.

The Client Access - CWBPING facility will do this for us at V5R3

>From the "Windows Command Prompt" we can run the command . . . :  CWBPING 
servername /port:# ] 
and we just look at the results

However the requirement is to run as part of a CL program, to run in batch 
and to be able to read the "message results"

As a side note 

In the past we have used the TCP/IP API QtocLstNetCnn,  NCNN0100 Format
But we discovered that the information pertaining to the TCP/IP state is 
not reliable.
If the API tells me that it is listening, this does not guarantee a 
connection
