TCPIP_RCV connection_number

TCPIP_RCV 3

This command receives the data sent by the server / device.

This command puts the client workstation into "listen" mode to receive messages from the server as they become available.

This command returns one of the following values:

• If data is received from the server, this command returns a string formatted as  "1   data_from_server" (the number 1, two spaces, and then the data string from the server).

• If the command cannot be executed, or if the timeout period elapses before data is received, this command returns a string beginning with "0" (zero).
  
  To determine whether this indicates a connection timeout, you can use the IF command to check for a TCPIP_ERROR of 997.

For information about connection numbers and timeout settings, see TCPIP_CONNECT.
