I have read a good many manuals on this and I am still slightly confused as all the examples use a client connection for a message then a close.

Once the connection is established with the client and we have a socket (protocol/port/IP address) the CICS listener will presumably monitor for data sent from the client.

Is a new socket established on each send from the client?
If I start a child server wth givesocket/take socket is this to free the listener for more connections or more data on the original connection?
Do I just use the SENDTO with the orignal socket id to send dat to the client (separately from any received data/transactions)?

The problem is, working only from manuals until we get test connections set up I cannot prove any of this.

Can any one help please?
