I typically let the IBM do the driving, so, I have commands like the
following. I don't know much about Windows scripts, but perhaps the
following command could run a script to ftp "get" from the IBM machine.
Alternatively, if you want Windows to do the driving, it could kick off a
program to generate the data through the FTP method you're already doing,
and then the IBM machine would call a process on the Windows machine to go
get it once batch processing completes. This RUNRMTCMD thing requires that
Client Access be installed on the Windows server, and there has to be some
process running and configured, whose process name always escapes my
memory.
callp(e) QCMDEXC('RUNRMTCMD CMD(' + apos
+ 'c:\PROCESS.exe -K ENGINE32.EXE'
+ apos + ')'
+ ' RMTLOCNAME('+apos+ServerName+apos+' *IP)'
:1024);

Subject: Run remote process from FTP client and wait until it's finished
to download output
Sent by: "RPG400-L" <rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Good afternoon folks,
I have spent much too long looking for this specific issue out there, but I
figure in this list somebody has done it before...
I need to use a Windows-7 script on a Windows server that runs FTP script
(s) to
(1) run a process on the "IBM I" that generates a file, and then
(2) download that file.
The remote program is run using the FTP command:
quote rcmd CALL PGMLIB/PROGRAM
It appears that the script runs the next line without waiting for the
program to finish.
Is there a way to make it wait?
I have the remote call running now in one FTP script, which the windows
batch file runs, and then it runs the download FTP download script in the
next line.
Thanks
Alan
