Thanks for the clarification. It seems that more and more things need clarification these days.

In other words, KEEPALIV appeared to be a unary > switch :-) Keepalives are generated by the stack, not the apps, but the apps have to enable it on their particular TCP session via a socket call. So, you configure Keepalive intervals, etc. in the stack and enable it for RSCS TCPNJE sessions by specifying KEEPALIV=YES. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
