Re: ICF Programming Snafu's! I Don't want to EVOKE!

     Andrew,
     
     I'm not exactly sure I understand.... is it something like:
     
     1> AS400 (sys a) always runs a comm job that just waits for 
     connection (ICFW or BSCW).
     
     2> AS400 (sys b) dialing into sysA for testing. As soon as 
     connection is established, pgms start talking.
     
     3> Tandem (sys c) dialing in to sysA for production. like above.
     
     
     A waiting for connection
     B or C dialing A
     Connect
     B-->A  (send request) pgm to pgm
     A-->B  (send reply)   pgm to pgm
     Disconnect
     A waiting for connection 
     
     Evoke is not necessary. Just have the comm job active on Sys A, and 
     it will just wait for a valid connection to begin. If this is the 
     scenario, I might be able to provide you with samples. Contact me @

I'm trying to simulate connection to a mainframe via an ICF file using 
two AS/400's , and I'm running into a problem in getting the two AS/400 
to chat with one another.  I want to blind transmit information sent 
over the ICF to the receiving AS/400 end, and reply using the program 
that is sitting and waiting for a communication that would normally be 
to a mainframe (tandom..).  So far, I've run into the snafu that I have 
to evoke the receiving end from the transmitting AS/400 end.  In 
reality, I don't want to evoke, and I want the other end just to 
startup, and answer messages sent by the mainframe.  Any clues as to 
what I do?
