Irrespective of where the 'problem' is (AS/400 or Win2K), here are a
couple of suggestions.  These may or may not be feasable, these are
application design suggestions.

1) After the "QUOTE RCMD AA317D", end the FTP session.  Every X seconds
restart FTP and try to GET the datafile.  When successful, you're done.

2) After the "QUOTE RCMD AA317D", end the FTP session.  When the
datafile is ready, have the AS/400 initiate an FTP session and PUT the
file to the PC (requires FTP server on PC).
