RE: Connection closed by remote host

This may sound a little hokie, but if you try to do a CPYSPLF in the FTP
script to a spooled file that is not there, the FTP output file will give
you a Spooled file not found in job ....  Then do a WRKJOB on the qualified
job name and resubmit the FTP script while looking at the inter active job
log on the 400.  I have found that each time I submit the FTP script, the
400 reuses the job name/user/number that was used in the previous run.  I am
not sure when these jobs actually go away, but I am guessing at IPL time or
when shutting down FTP on the 400.

I used this method when trying to track down some problems using the remote
command with CPYSPLF but that is another story.

Rob,

  Thanks for the reply and you're right, the time is closer to 5 minutes for
the
automatic close.  My problem occurs very close to one minute.  Somehow I
seem to
remember one minute being the default for certain things like locked file
wait
time.  I looked for locked files associated with the program I was calling
but
couldn't find any.  I was hoping someone knew where you could find an error
or
job log for the ftp session or how to turn on some kind of trace to see what
is
happening with the particular session.
