The logical is used if remote users are getting socket errors
(common on a busy system). They can try increasing this logical
to stop the socket errors. Increasing it will mean that the time
to disconnect will take longer, but the socket errors will go
away.

Essentially, the socket errors occur b/c the server attempts to
write to a connection that the client already closed. By
increasing the time out, the connection will still be there
for a longer period of time, and the server will be able to
write to the connection.

The logical is defined for use by the PROEXE executable.
Therefore, you define it on the client environment, not
the server.

The problem: The use of this logical was only applied to
Progress executable for the VMS operating system. Therefore,
only VMS clients that choose to connect remotely will be able
to use this feature. PC and Unix remote clients will not able
to use it because it is not build into any current version on
these platforms.
