RE: How to set socket receive time out in RPGIV ?

Venogal,

I think you need to use the Select() function prior to your read().  As I
recall, Select() waits for a user defined period of time, until data is
received into the buffer, or the time expires. If the Select() returns
negative or zero, then you timed out.

hope this helps...

Sorry, the RPG IV Socket Tutorial have receive time out value on Server
sample program. How do I use the same concept on the socket client
program ? Could I use following in client socket program ?

eval      tolen = %size(timeval) 
alloc     tolen         to      
eval      p_timeval = to         

callp     FD_ZERO(readset)     
callp     FD_SET(socket : readset)

eval      tv_sec = 60 
eval      tv_usec = 0 

eval      rc = select(socket+1: %addr(readset) :  *NULL : *NULL : to)  

eval      len = recv(sock: %addr(buf):%size(buf), 0)   

Any help appreciated.

Best regards,

Vengoal Chang

Dear folks,
        I use the RPG IV Socket Tutorial by Scott Klement for  writing
socket AP. But I don't know how to set receive time out time. I check
information center, the rcvtimeout support from V5R2 setsockopt98 API.
Does someone help me or post some RPG example ? Any help appreciated.

Best regards,

Vengoal Chang
