Re: FTP commands to Japanese system

David,
I have found in the past, that when the Info Center does not have a good answer, some of the older manuals do. I have a V4R3 TCP/IP Configuration and Reference manual (1087 pages) which has several pages on CCSID and FTP. If you don't have access to an older TCP manual I would be glad to fax the pages (don't have a scanner onsite here). It does not have your exact problem, but has several scenarios. I am surprised that in this global world others have not been thru this and have a ready answer.
If doing a search in Info Center, try 'National Language Support for FTP',
and there is a reference in the TCP manual to an IBM pub called International Application Development (no pub#).

The problem isn't invoking the commands ... but parsing the "550" error
messages that get returned.

When I'm connecting to a Japanese system, with a user profile that's set
to use CCSID 5026, all lower case characters are returned as blanks.

The FTP response messages have lower case characters... so I can't
properly parse the responses.

Unless I missed it earlier, have you tried
"quote rcmd anycommand parm(x)" ??


other than that I can think of a generic CL program that you could call
almost the same as using QCMDEXEC in a program

"quote rcmd call execcmd parm(put command to run here)"

2. I need to be able to execute more commands than the QUOT command
directly supports.
