Hi

What's the best way to check if an active connection is still alive?
I might guess the connection is probably dropped by leaving the app in an idle state for too long beyond the server timeout.

I'm getting the following message:
SR_ODBC/0 SQLExecDirect Error
08S01 - 10054 - [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]TCP Provider: Se ha forzado la interrupción de una conexión existente por el host remoto (an existing connection was interrupted by the remote host)

I don"t use SQLRDD.

Looks like:
SR_GetConnection( nConnection )
Obtain the connection object to <nConnection>
.... might throw a detectable error.

SR_GetActiveConnection()
Get the active connection number
.... might not return a valid (or recorded) connection number.

SR_SetActiveConnection( nCnn )
Set the active connection number
.... might be used at the heart of a "keep alive" function? Prevent timeouts, maybe.

Alternatively, you could close any connections when entering a menu, and auto-close editing sessions to return to a menu state after so may minutes idle.

May have been more functionality added in 14 years...

Hi
I found the SR_CheckCnn() function that checks exactly what I need.
