One idea is to use a place-marker for the file name, then do an SQL REPLACE on that line - or do it in RPG native.

Issue: Want FTP to run unattended in batch mode, and transmit a
different file name each time.
Do you have a suggestion?

The base code I am working from is :

http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh070703-story04.html

The published example shows the FTP script of subcommands stored in a
source member in a source physical file, which I edited with SEU.
Example:
REIN
USER [username] [password]
locsite namefmt 1
CD INBOUND
LCD /QSYS.LIB/C130308A.LIB
ASCII
PUT BATCHSCRIP.FILE
QUIT
/END

The file name BATCHSRIP.FILE is hard-coded in the source member.
Users want the FTP to run every hour and transmit a different file name
each time.
File name would need to be supplied as a parameter.

Appears to me that I would need to recreate the source member every
hour, changing the put statement with the new file name.
Seems very cumbersome to do it this way.
Is there a better technique for transmitting files whose names change
all the time?
