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

Scott

Apologies for the delay in responding. The system I developed the code on
was the old hardware and to my surprise it was decommissioned with the
admins checking with me. I am waiting for the Library to be restored so
that I can be more specific with what I tested. I do remember trying the
non blocking option too but will confirm tomorrow I hope.

@Richard, unfortunately I am not a .net person.

I will look at Python as it will run on the IBMi, but everyone would prefer
the RPG option.

Thanks

You should be able to create a VB.Net or C# app that connects to the
device.

Once you test it on the PC in Visual Studio you can move the EXE over to
IBMi using the new Mono .Net functionality.

You'll probably more readily find .Net examples than RPG ones.

Food for thought.......

The problem is

If the device is online,
- I can connect to the device. The socket() is successful.
- If the device is on line but the port is not in listen mode, the program
goes into a wait/retry mode at the connect(). This takes 3.5 minutes before
returning control to the RPG program.

I tried adding the setsock() functions and trying that, but it would not
change the situation.

Darryl.
