Re: TCP/IP Buffer to variable in Scott Klement's sample

A little background, I am an old iSeries programmer, but we have been
using a 4GL tool for years, so I don't have any experience with RPGLE

I have been trying to use the Scott Klement Tutorial to build a simple
TCP/IP client to replace a PC program we have to grab a line from an open
socket and send it down a dataQ and then to send the response from another
dataQ back down the socket.

I have the sending down the socket working, but I am not handling the
receipt of data correctly and the call to QSNDDTAQ fails with "Scalar
operand contains a value that is not valid"

The code I have is
c callp WrLine(sock: dqdw )
C eval rc = rdline(sock: %addr(recbuf):
c %size(recbuf): *On)
c DtaqUp dsply
c recbuf dsply
c move *blank dqup
c* movel recbuf dqup
c call 'QSNDDTAQ'
c parm DtaqUp
c parm DtaqLib
c parm DtaqLen
c parm dqup
c

recbuf displays fine, but the movel is obviously the wrong way to transfer
it.

Please could someone point out the error of my ways or to the point in the
tutorial which I need to understand.
