Invalid timeout parameter

Explanation

The timeout parameter is used for the PING function when accessing a remote host. PING will return with a message that states that the remote host is not responding if after a few moments it receives no responses from the remote host. In the case of FTP server and SMTP, this could indicate an error with the application code itself.

System action

TCPIP continues. The connection is not established.

Operator response

If the error occurred as result of the PING function, then wait until the host responds or call the remote host's system administrator to find out the status of the host. In the case of FTP server and SMTP, refer the error to the system programmer or the IBM® Software Support Center.

System programmer response

Parse the code with trace on for the application code. Look for any indications of possible errors and correct them. Recompile after any corrections are made and test the application program.

Module

various.

Procedure name

various.
