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.

Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.

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 a Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge instance.
