TCP Pascal APIs removed

Applications that use the TCP/UDP Pascal APIs must be converted to use sockets APIs

Support for these APIs was removed in V4R1 when the Pascal compiler was withdrawn from support in V3R7, but existing applications that use these APIs were allowed to function until now.

Users with applications that use the APIs that need to be converted can refer to Appendix H, “Converting from the Pascal API to the Sockets API” PDF document: SC41-5420-00 TCP/IP Configuration & Reference V4R1 PDF

These APIs are removed in IBM® i 7.2 :
