RE: Socket read error (was: Sniff TCP/IP traffic on iSeries?)

What happens if you try to read before the shutdown?

Well, it gets weirder and weirder.

We finally got boat loads of PTF's installed ... and can now run our
java server on the iSeries ... but we're still getting the same error.

We're communicating to localhost.  So this rules out networking
problems.

When I run a java test program that interacts with the server (also
running java, different JVM) it responds correctly.  This pretty much
rules out the server application.

However, if I try to invoke the same transaction from RPG, I get the
3426 error when I do the read.  The send works fine ... no errors.

My basic logic is as follows ...

open socket
connect to remote
send data on socket
shutdown sending socket [shutdown(socket:1)]
read data from socket

At this point I'm getting a -1 from the read.  When I get the errno
value, I'm getting 3426.

I'm at wits end on this one.
