I have been struggling with this for a while... Cancel always works but I don't think that is clean. I just looked in the IP Socket Interface guide hoping it would help but the design noted there has a task receiving data forever. I do not have a problem if the socket is busy. I can always set a switch and terminate. My problem is when the socket is idle. It is waiting for input and does not know it is to shutdown.
My most current idea is to setup a ESTAE to ignore SA03 abends and detach the task. I have not tested this yet but it seems unclean to me (even if externally it will look clean). I have also thought about setting a timeout value but I am concerned about using this. If the socket times out, do I have to close and reopen the socket? How long do I wait before I timeout? Does this cause a lot of overhead? Have you created a socket server? Did you have a clean way of shutting it down? Please explain how.
