Preventing Further Linkages

You can use the UNREADYCL function to make a given connection library unready for new linkages. While a connection library is unready, it cannot serve as the responding side in an implicit or explicit linkage attempt. However, an unready connection library can serve as the responding side in a direct linkage attempt or as the requesting side in any type of linkage attempt.

UNREADYCL has no effect on existing linkages.

Compare with READYCL Function

UNREADYCL performs a function opposite to that performed by the READYCL function, as discussed in “Using READYCL for the Responding Library,” earlier in this section. You can use these functions to ready and unready a connection library repeatedly.
