A fullword binary field that returns one of the following values.
  • If COMMAND was set to 3 (query), a bit string is returned.
    • If RETCODE contains X'00000004', the socket is nonblocking. (The FNDELAY flag is on.)
    • If RETCODE contains X'00000000', the socket is blocking. (The FNDELAY flag is off.)
