Tom,
   The spec is currently being reviewed by XOpen.  I've listed below
how to get a copy of the spec.  No one has yet implemented it as far
as I know.  In the meantime, you might want to look into the way APING
does it; there is a function, retry_for_sense_data(), that uses the
OS/2 native APPC API to get the sense data.  The idea is allocate to
the LU, on some mode, to a blank TP name.  That way, if the problem
was transient, you don't end up connecting to your server, when you
are on an error path...
Regards,
Richard.

               CPIC 2.0 Specification
     (Revised Third Draft - December 14, 1994)

Four versions of the draft are available via anonymous ftp
at ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com under the directory ciw/spec:

- 20spec.psbin......This is an uncompressed Postscript
                    listfile of the book.  It'll take
                    about 7 meg to download.

- cpic.exebin.......This is a compressed Postscript
                    listfile of the book.  It'll take
                    about 1.7 meg to download.  After
                    you download, type:
                         cpic
                    at your DOS command line to uncompress
                    the file.  The filename will change
                    to 20spec.psb.

- 20spec.psbin.Z....This is a UNIX-compressed
                    listfile of the book.

- 20spec.ascii......This is a straight ASCII listing of
                    the book.  Many of the pictures and
                    tables are not readable in this
                    version, but the revision bars do
                    show up, so you can read the text.
