RDz should implement the TCPIP connection state of the art

As of today, the TCPIP initialization of RDz is not as it should be. There are 2 cases. The first one is if RDz is connecting to TCPIP during initialization and TCPIP is not yet up. RDz does NOT do any retries as other products (CICS etc) do. RDz simply terminates with RC0. The next sample is during RDz operation if the TCPIP stack is for whatever reason is stopped. In that case RDz terminates, and must be started manually

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. At this time, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
