RE: FTP to a Delimited File

Thanks. As soon as I saw the extenders, the light bulb came on. It's a
hard being old and forgetful.

Glenn: Yeah, it's a strange naming convention. The application was ported
from a S/36 (or /34) and, for an unknown reason, when the consultant created
these files he maintained the "D." convention.

try this instead
c:>ftp myibmi
quote site namefmt 1
put c:\adams\@Worklib\Text.txt /qsys.lib/tstqs36f.lib/d.file/c701.mbr

I am trying to FTP a text file to a source physical file with a single
member. For example:

put c:\adams\@Worklib\Text.txt tstqs36f/d.c701

The push "works" BUT the FTP process say "150 Sending file to member C701
in
file D in library TSTQS36F"

I tried qualifying the file name as "D.C701" but got the same message. It
did create a file named "D" and the data was there.

Tried single quotes with equivalent results. Except that it created a
file
named "D#".



There is, by the way, already a member in the source physical file with
the
same name (i.e., D.C701).



So how do I push to a file/member which is delimited?
