is it possible to execute two different ftp scripts, in CL or RPG, without have to execute the quit on the first one and re-logon on the 2nd?

The problem is that when you end the first FTP script, the FTP program unloads from memory. This will cause the connection to be closed.


It sounds to me like what you really want isn't to run two FTP scripts without quitting -- it's to be able to stop and have the program make decisions during your FTP session. AFIAK, you can't do that with IBM's FTP client.

You could try FTPAPI, which is an open source package that I've got on my Web site. (I don't charge for it.) With FTPAPI, an RPG program is in control of the whole conversation. There's no script file, and no separate program to launch and wait for.

IF you want to try it out, go to the following link:
