Title:

Error=17 occurs if the IP Address is used instead of hostname with TCP Client

Description:

… 
…

An Error=17, TCB(10)=18 can occur on this line and is resolved by using the hostname instead of IP Address in the mode portion of the statement. 

Resolution:

An Error=17, TCB(10)=18 can occur on this line and is resolved by using the hostname instead of IP Address in the mode portion of the statement.
