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

[Andrew Borts <adborts@xxxxxxx>]

Eric,
This is using a SDLC communication, and that seems to be the diffeence in the
original way they were doing this.  So far, the answers I've found say that
EVOKE is needed for this.  Now I'm stuck - I don't want to hardcode the
security parms into the SECURITY parm in the ICF file, and I may have to
internally describe this portion of the communications.  I'm confused!  It
looks like it can be done, yet it can't!

     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 @
