RE: Sockets in RPGLE

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Scott,

I now know why when I pass the entire address of "010.010.010.255" I get an
error while 
"10.10.10.255" works.  There is no Null Byte at the end.  The %Trim(TcpAddr)
does fill the field with nulls and not blanks when passing as a parameter.
(Spaces if putting into an RPG character variable.)  I do not know C
therefore must take your word for the null-byte-terminated strings.  It's
the little things that take forever to over come.  The application I am
using in on a private intranet and has no central DNS server.  I do not know
the name of the host computer I am communicating to, only the TCP/IP address
and port.  I put the values into a data area instead of using the more
complex host tables.  I will try the GetHostByName function in the future
when I have an application that can benefit.

Thanks Again
