I was going to look over a QUSRTOOL example, the TSO sockets tool, and found that the compile of one of the C modules failed with this error:

36 |#include <asyncIO.h>
*=SEVERE==========> CZM0296 #include file <asyncIO.h> not found.

QSYSINC has no asyncIO.h in V5R1, R2 or R3. And surprise -- InfoCenter has no search references to such an include, although there are a couple comments in a couple Apache source modules to asyncIO.

Does no one compile things from QUSRTOOL anymore?

Anyway, does anyone out there have an example of asyncIO.h that might be appropriate?

I suspect it doesn't exist for OS/400, but I might as well ask.

Looks like someone screwed up. Probably by compiling and testing on AIX instead of OS/400 but that's just a guess on my part.

If you look at the source from the TSO tool on 530 you'll see that asyncIO.h has been replaced by qsoasync.h which also exists on 510.

There are other things that have changed too but you can get the 510 TSO source to compile by creating your own asyncio.h file which contains only the Qso_OverlappedIO_t definitions from qsoasync. For example:

/*
** Dummy to compile TSO tool
*/
typedef void * descriptorHandle_t;
struct overlappedIO_t {
  descriptorHandle_t    descriptorHandle;
  void *                buffer;
  size_t                bufferLength;
  int                   postFlag : 1;
  int                   fillBuffer : 1;
  int                   postFlagResult : 1;
  int                   reserved1 : 29;
  int                   returnValue;
  int                   errnoValue;
  int                   operationCompleted;
  int                   secureDataTransferSize;
  unsigned int          bytesAvailable;
  char                  reserved2[52];
   };

typedef struct overlappedIO_t overlappedIO_t;

Although the modules compile cleanly I have not tried to bind them nor tried to run the tool. I leave that as an exercise for you.

Postscript: Searching the IBM Support site came up with a hit in the Software Knowledgebase specifically for this problem. It is in the locked section which seems unavailable at present. Trying to use it results in:
