Last time I looked, REXX sockets did not support IPv6. Is that still true ? Everyone keeps telling me we will need IPv6 Real Soon Now. But I have been hearing that for years.
If you have IPv6 in the present or near future, I think you cannot use RE XX Sockets.

The application is the client part of the client-ser ver architecture of event utility that is home grown system. We use this application in z/OS ( an other sys tems) to report event to the central server. We also have 24/7 operators that use an event viewer (client) of the central server to monitor for any critical events.
