TCP/IP Socket: IUCV error 1004 under BBI

[Werner Nussbaumer]

I tried to initialize the socket function using the following statements:

ret = Socket('Initialize', 'RexxWhoo', 2)
parse var ret s_rc s_subtask s_maxdesc s_servicename socket_rc
If s_rc <> 0 then,
Do
say 'DNS-NAME: ERROR: Unable to Initiate SOCKET' s_rc
End

If I execute this function directly under TSO then the function works. Under
BBI it terminates with result code 1004: "1004 | EIBMIUCVERR | IUCV error".

Does anyone know what could cause this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,
regards
Werner Nussbaumer

You're missing the RACF OVMS segment which allows access to TCP services.

Thank you Marcus, yes that was the reason. Now it works.

I realize this post was answered many years ago, but I received the "INITIALIZE TCP/IP socket call failed, RC=1004, Reason=EIBMIUCVERR IUCV" today and I have a OMVS segment defined.

My error turned out to be I incorrectly coded the 4th parameter of the Socket('INITIALIZE') which the books says is the name of the TCP/IP 'service'. I had coded 'TCPIP' and the correct service on my LPAR was TCPIP13.

So if you suffer the 1004 error and it's not the OMVS segment check and see if you are coding the service name on the Socket('INITIALIZE'), and if you do it needs to be right.
