*RMC13007 - 01/14/2008 - The Socket APPLDATA value is now generated for
*                        LPR, Direct Socket and SMTP Socket activities.
*                        The SMTP printing process now supports the use
*                        of non-standard SMTP sockets.
*
*Enhancement Summary:
*1.  The ROPES IP Printing device type modules now provide more trace
*    information.  Additional trace points include:
*        Before INITAPI
*        Before SETSOCKOPT
*        Before GETHOSTBYNAME
*        After  GETHOSTBYNAME
*        Before CONNECT
*        Before IOCTL
*        After  IOCTL
*    In addition, an IOCTL call has been added to supply the TCP/IP
*    APPLDATA information to be associated with the socket.  The
*    APPLDATA information was introduced in z/OS V1R9 and is also
*    available in V1R7 and V1R8 by PTF.
*    "A new SIOCSAPPLDATA IOCTL is available that allows applications
*    owning stream (TCP) sockets to associate forty bytes of
*    application data with the socket.  The associated application
*    data is made available on Netstat ALL/-A, ALLConn/-a and COnn/-c
*    reports, in SMF 119 TCP Connection Termination records and
*    though the Network Management Interface (NMI) on the
*    GetTCPListeners and GetConnectionDetail poll requests."
*    From the HOLD data for UK28303 (z/OS V1R8).
*
*    The APPLDATA created by ROPES consists of 40 bytes defined as:
*
*    Position        Contents
*     1 -  5         Literal "ROPES"
*     7 - 10         Module Id (LPRP, MRDP, SOCP)
*    12 - 15         Printer Id
*    17 - 20         Device block suffix
*    22 - 25         Data stream type
*    27 - 34         Report Name
*    36 - 40         Connection date (yyddd)
*
*2.  The ROPES SMTP printing process now supports the use of an SMTP
*    server that is not listening on the standard port 25.
*
*    The ROPES Device Block Sockets segment has had a new field added
*    to accomodate the SMTP server port number to be used when connect-
*    ing to the server.  The ROPESDEV TYPE=SOCKETS macro instruction
*    now accepts the value SOKPORT=NNNNN, where NNNNN is a number in
*    range of 1 - 61439.  The default value is still 25, the standard
*    SMTP port number, which will be used if the SOKPORT keyword is not
*    specified, or if the Device Block was created prior to V13.
*
*    The anticipated use of this is to provide the ability to have
*    different ROPES SMTP printer tasks communicate with different
*    SMTP servers if you have the need to distribute your workload,
*    and to allow you to assign a non-standard port when you have
*    no other way, such as a firewall, to prevent the use of the
*    server for unintended purposes, for example, as an Open Relay
*    mail server for use by spammers and other unsavory types.
*
*Temporary Fix:
*    The following replacement object modules must be obtained from
*    technical support:
*        ROPEDRVR, ROPELPRP, ROPEMRDP, ROPESOCP
*    The following new source modules must be obtained from
*    technical support:
*        ROPEAPPL, ROPESDEV
*
*Documenation Changes:
*    The relevant documentation will be updated and incorporated in
*    the next release of the manuals.
*
*Permanent Fix:
*    This feature will be incorporated in the next release of
*    ROPES.
