Re: Verifying Existence of a File on a Server

Hi Don,

You can override LSOUTPUT before doing the FTP command:

OVRDBF     FILE(LSOUTPUT) TOFILE(anylib/anyfile)
FTP rmtsys

According to what I can figure out, there's no way to specify where the file 
should go except to change the current library.  Unfortunately, the current 
library cannot be QTEMP.  That means trouble if I have more than one user 
performing maintenance.

Thanks anyway.

Use the "ls (disk" FTP command and it will return a directory listing of all the files in your specified directory to a file called LSOUTPUT on your AS/400. Just read LSOUTPUT to see if the file you are looking for exists.
