Re: Example socket program to send data to a non IBM i device

The hanging thing is a new one. Are other people using this socket server?
It doesn't sound like the socket server is not responding, it sounds like
you are connecting and then being hung up.

Normally socket attempts to make a connection. That connection is either
accepted or rejected. If there is nothing to connect to it just returns an
error.

So anyway, you need to speak to whoever is in charge of the socket server
and see if they can see your connection.

Thank you all. I have got some code working.

I have a new question relating to this. I have used Alan Campin's example
in Think400.

How do I monitor for a failure?
In my testing, if the remote side does not respond/connect the code was
hanging waiting for a response. I had to cancel the job.

How do I overcome the the waiting?
In other words, is there a timeout that can be set to return to my program?

Thank you.

This is pretty easy in Python.

So you are looking for a socket client? Who is writing or has written

the

outside server? Are you being expected to write the outside socket

server?

As I read your request, you are looking for a socket client to talk to

an

outside of the IBM i socket server.
