Re: Trap 5250 session disconnect in an rpg program.

Hello,

ie; the session is disconnecting and I'd like the rpg program
to know this.
(I don't think so but thought I'd ask anyway)

You could do this:

D PERM_IO_ERROR C 1251
.
.

monitor;
exfmt MYSCREEN;
on-error PERM_IO_ERROR;
// code to delete data area
endmon;


Note that the 'monitor' block doesn't *have* to be coded right on the exfmt. In our shop, we have a lot of WiFi scanning guns, and like any wireless communication, they're subject to problems with low signal strength, dropping connections, etc. So we have it coded at the high-level (in the "controller" component of the MVC pattern)

monitor;
exsr DoWork; // all program logic is in this routine
on-error PERM_IO_ERROR;
exsr CleanIp; // occurs if PERM_IO_ERROR happens anywhere
// in program.
endmon;

You can change the 'exsr' to 'callp' as well, as long as the procedure runs within the same activation group.
