This assumes TCP/IP, which needs AnyNet over the SNADS line. This works
fine, although native TCP/IP will be faster.

So, I agree with Booth. You _will_ want to redirect (OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT))
the output of FTP to a file, so that you can test the process. There _are_
return messages, but they go to a log file that you need to read and check
for messages. Not too hard, but *nix has better tools for this (sed, grep,
etc.) Check the TCP/IP Reference for examples of batch FTP.
