Re: Unusual message sent back to sftp

I contacted the remote site and confirmed that none of the files had
been sent. Ran the program again, and all was well. I thought the
handle message was indicating an issue with opening a file. Wish I
knew why that rather serious error did not set a non-zero return code.
Fortunately, no data loss, but it would have been nice had they
contacted me when the expected files did not arrive at the usual time.
Had I not see that message in the spool file, I would have received
an email a few weeks later inquiring about the file.

Thanks for confirming that it should have failed, and that the exit
status does appear to be a bug.

Is there any way to know if this has been reported at v5r4?

"Couldn't get handle" tells you that SFTP couldn't open a file on the
remote server.  The word "Failure" (in this example) is what the remote
server returned to your sftp client as an error message.  The remote
server said "Failure" as it's error message.

Why didn't it set the exit status?  That I don't know, but it sounds
like a bug to me.
