Is it realistic to ask (for an enhancement) for the Ping to return both sequence numbers ? If ping only works when a channel is inactive, I think sequence numbers should match. Is this a case where the command can only return a numeric condition code, and therefore, a zero return code would mean that sequence numbers matched? The v5.3 Explorer GUI pops up a message box, after issuing a ping command, that displays text indicating that the channel was pinged successfully, but perhaps under the covers there was a command issued and a zero code received, and it is the GUI that adds the text? Are the items below - listener not available, channel not defined remotely, SSL configuration mismatch - represented by non-zero return codes? Perhaps a new return code can be added, indicating mismatched sequence numbers.

A channel ping tells you a little more, for example: - listener not available - channel not defined remotely - SSL configuration mismatch - ... This is also an argument, to let a listener running when a QMgr ist stopped for a moment. The only thing, what a ping does not check is the sequence number (unfortunately).
