Ron, what I've done is to create the FTP script file and save it without
the password.  The information I want to be variable is put in with some
unique place-holder.  I use "mm/dd/yy" as a place holder for a date for
instance.

At execution time I run an RPG program that prompts for the variable
information like "Password".   The RPG program scans for "password" and
substitute the password, and scan for "mm/dd/yy" and insert UDate.  The
output of all this goes to the script file in QTEMP and then executes. The
password disappears at job end.

(btw, aren't the overridden files "input" and "output" your FTP Script and
log files; not your files to be transferred?)

If you'd like a copy of the programs used for this process just let me
know, OK?

Okay, I moved them both to the first line with no commands and that
worked.

Now, another question.  Has anyone found a way to make some of the lines
in
the input file variable.  That is a way to be able to change the file name
being transferred and just use the input file to keep all the static
commands in place.

Thanks again
Ron
