Hi, We are calling from z/OS CICS COBOL to a C program which is opening a socket to start a TCPIP connection and we got back error 167 from the socket() function call. However, if we call from Batch to the same C program as above, the socket opens correctly.
Three questions: 1. What does errno = 167 from the socket() call mean? 2. Do we need any user privileges (such as Unix root) for a CICS user to perform this function within Unix? 3. Is there any step by step how to configure the CICS to allow a C routine to open a socket in Unix? We urgently need some guidance on this issue. Thank you in advance for your support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
