RE: FTP from CL

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you found it in your redbooks, you should have found some pretty good
example on how to do it to.

Here's the basic gist.

Your CL will look somthing like this...

OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(&PLIB/QFTPSRC) MBR(&MBRI)  
OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(&PLIB/QFTPSRC) MBR(&MBRO) 
FTP        RMTSYS(&IP)                                   
DLTOVR     FILE(INPUT OUTPUT)                    

&PLIB is the library that contains the source physical file QFTPSRC.  &IP is
the IP address or DNS name that you are connecting to.

&MBRI is a member you create which contains the FTP scripts.  It should look
something like this...

username password                      
ascii                                                                
cd /home/ftp/guest                  
put spanky.txt   
close                                   
quit                 

&MBRO is an output file that is created by the system that contains the
informational message sent by the FTP job.  

The only "gotcha" that I have run across is that if you are going to submit
the CL program that runs the FTP command to batch, it must be compiled to
used the default activation group (this only applies if your CL program is
type CLLE).
