Right.  The error message is because your procedure named 'incoming' didn't return a value equal to the size of the data received from the far end.

Yup, and for the same reason.  While the stuff you're changing may be wrong (in that the servlet doesn't like it) that's not why you are seeing this error.

It does whatever you want it to do inside your procedure named 'incoming'  Most often, it would be a file handle (descriptor) for 'incoming' to use when writing the incoming data to say, an IFS file or another socket or... whatever you want it to do.

That may be OK unless your procedure named 'incoming' expects to use it.  Did you change the procedure the way Scott advised?  I append his suggestion below:


> P Incoming B 
> D Incoming PI 10I 0 
> D Descriptor 10I 0 
> D Data 8192 Options(*VarSize) 
> D DataLen 10I 0 Value 
> c return datalen
