Hi Group, Does anyone know the reason when running tsocmd to start a Rexx program with the BPXWRFD=YES environment variable set, the child process only inherits open file descriptors 10-99?
I've done a lot of searching, and the only place I found this mentioned was in the Environment Variables section of the USS Command Reference: BPXWRFD Specifying YES in a REXX program before the TSO process is started causes the TSO process to inherit open file descriptors 10 through 99. This causes programs that switched from /bin/tso to /bin/tsocmd to break. What would be the proper way to code around this? From what I understand you cannot specify which file descriptor you want to use when creating a socket. The only way around this that I could find would be to use the dup2() function where one can specify which fd they want. Is that about right? Any feedback is welcome. :) Kind regards, Lindy (x-posted to MVS-OE but doesn't appear to be much life over there) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
