Re: Batch FTP Fails, Interactive works - what to change?

Hey Mike,

Note: I am on V5R4

Display of the command for FTP in QSYS shows;

CL Program running the FTP with script;

START:      PGM
            DCL        VAR(&RMTSYSTEM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200) +
                         VALUE('ptf.boulder.ibm.com')
            OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(JIM/FTPSCRIPT2)
            OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(JIM/FTPOUTPUT)

            FTP        RMTSYS(&RMTSYSTEM)
            DLTOVR     FILE(INPUT)
            DLTOVR     FILE(OUTPUT)
END:        ENDPGM

PF FTPSCRIPT2 has the entries;

user  userid password
namefmt 1
lcd /ptfcatalog
ascii
cd /IBM/path/list/c
get ftpSF99539.txt
get ilstSF99539.txt

get SF99539_3.bin
get SF99539_4.bin
get SF99539_5.bin
get SF99539_6.bin
quit

I do not think that error is coming from the script. All OS/400 commands
can be defined as to what envorinments they can run in. Do a DSPCMD of
the FTP command for an example

Where allowed to run . . . . . . . . . :   *IMOD      *BMOD      *IREXX

                                           *BREXX     *BPGM      *IPGM

                                           *EXEC      *INTERACT  *BATCH


If *BATCH was not listed here and you tried to use the FTP command in
batch you would get that error. I assume you must have a CL program that
does the override database commands and they the FTP command. What other
commands are in the CL program?

What program is it that's issuing that message?

I do FTP in batch all day long.
