RE: Correlating *SAVF "records" to FTP job I/O count

Dan,

The record length of save files is 528, but I don't know the blocking
factor.  56MB is a big file to be sending remote.  I hope your connection is
a fast one!

                Subject:        Correlating *SAVF "records" to FTP job I/O
count

                Is there a known, constant, record-blocking factor used when
transmitting a
                save file from one AS/400 to another via FTP?

                I am using FTP to transmit save files from plant boxes to
the division box.
                One I have running right now is 56MB.  The system operator
is wondering how
                much longer the FTP will run.  When I look at the job
running FTP, it shows
                the save file being transmitted as an open file (WRKJOB
option 14) and shows
                the I/O count at 12,417.  If I could correlate the save
file's number of
                records to the I/O count, I would be able to estimate the
time remaining to
                complete the transmission.  

                RTFM?  Please point the way.
