John Here is the description of the INTERVAL parameter of the TCPCONFIG statement from the CS IP Configuration Reference:
<quote> 1.2.56 TCPCONFIG ... INTERVAL default_keepalive_interval The default TCP keepalive interval for applications that enable the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option and do not over-ride the interval using the TCP_KEEPALIVE socket option. The range is 0-35791 minutes, and the default is 120. A value of 0 disables the keepalive function, so that sockets for which SO_KEEPALIVE is specified do not perform TCP keep-alive. In this case, sockets specifying a specific interval using TCP_KEEPALIVE continue to send keepalive probes. </quote> I guess the text you saw in the NETSTAT command output relates to this TCP keepalive function rather than the FTPKEEPALIVE statement. I could say that what you are "missing" is an ability to use the search function in the web pages supporting the online manuals which is what I just did - but I won't since that would be cruel!
