Timeout for SOCKETCLOSE in TCPIPSERVICE for the first request

The TCPIPSERVICE attribute called SOCKETCLOSE does not allow to specify a timeout value for the first time request. And the first request is in fact the most interesting one to set up a parameter for timeout. The description of the attribute in the Infocenter of 4.2 is:

SOCKETCLOSE({NO|hhmmss})
Specifies if, and for how long, CICS should wait before closing the socket. The SOCKETCLOSE attribute does not apply to the first receive request issued after a connection is made. On the first receive request, for the HTTP, USER, and ECI protocols, CICS waits for data for 30 seconds before closing the socket. For the IIOP protocol, CICS waits indefinitely.

We would request an enhancement to allow to configure a value for the timeout in the case of the first request.

    This has been addressed by APAR PI39026 for CICS TS 4.2 and PI31452 for CICS TS V5 The APAR fix allows the initial wait to be configured via the DTIMOUT setting for the transaction specified on the TCPIPSERVICE (i.e. CWXN or another transaction that runs DFHWBXN - CWXN will be needed in this case because the data isn't already available). It can be configured on a TCPIPSERVICE basis by creating a different transaction with the required DTIMOUT.
