The RSCS socket RECV function has not been notified the underlying connection no longer exists. This is not a problem as long as RSCS is notified the connection no longer exists when trying to send something. In addition, when the other end comes back and tries to establish the connection, RSCS will detect this and handle appropriately. Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development
