Marty,

that's a great idea!  I really hate the idea of purposely inserting errors.
You should put that in the FAQ...

thanks for the tip,

Rick

Rick,

If you make a simple command named, for example, ##:

   CMD        PROMPT('BATCH FTP COMMENT')
   PARM       KWD(PARM1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(128)

And a simple CL which will be the CPP for the ## command:

   PGM        PARM(&PARM1)
   DCL        VAR(&PARM1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(128)
   RETURN

Compile them and put them in a library that will be in the library list of
the FTP client session, which you can identify by FTP'in into any server
and
doing "! DSPLIBL".

Then you could use the FTP client SYSCMD (abbreviated !) facility to insert
"comments" like this:

! ## 'This is a test of FTP comments'

I believe that will leave all your text intact and not generate unnecessary
errors. Granted it isn't really a comment, but it might do what you need.
It
wastes a few cycles doing nothing, but probably no worse than the
error-generating technique.
