CREATE SERVER-SOCKET statement

Creates an instance of a server socket object and assigns it to the handle variable specified. It is through this object that a socket-based server application can listen for connections on a TCP/IP port.

Syntax

CREATE SERVER-SOCKET handle[ NO-ERROR ]

handle

Variable of type HANDLE into which the CREATE SERVER-SOCKET statement stores the new server socket handle.

NO-ERROR

The NO-ERROR option is used to prevent the statement from raising ERROR and displaying error messages.

Notes

• An application can only create one server socket object. This statement will raise ERROR if an application tries to create multiple objects.
• A server socket object cannot be used with an AppServer or WebSpeed agent.
