Re: Example socket program to send data to a non IBM i device

I haven't been following this thread closely, but I have a thought for you.

You should be able to create a VB.Net or C# app that connects to the device.

Once you test it on the PC in Visual Studio you can move the EXE over to IBMi using the new Mono .Net functionality.

You'll probably more readily find .Net examples than RPG ones.

Food for thought.......

The problem is

If the device is online,
- I can connect to the device. The socket() is successful.
- If the device is on line but the port is not in listen mode, the program goes into a wait/retry mode at the connect(). This takes 3.5 minutes before returning control to the RPG program.

I tried adding the setsock() functions and trying that, but it would not change the situation.
