Re: Anyone written CL based "ping" checks ?

Thank you.  Sounds like a nice solution.

We have a library in the system library list above QSYS in which we have
modified versions of commands, print files, etc.

In this library I also have a special version of commands FTP and STRTCPFTP
with the basic parameters we use.  (We don't support all of them).  The CPP
for this is a CL program we wrote that does the PING previously posted, and
if it is successful, it executes a QSYS/STRTCPFTP command.

After all of our FTP's, we then have a program that analyzes the FTP output
to see if it worked.   The 'pre-PING' justs helps us avoid FTP's that are
doomed to fail since the remote system isn't available.

I do an
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(OUTFILE)
just before the ftp session and analyze the outfile.  But your suggestion
sounds good.  How do you front end the command?  Do it in a clp?  Like do
your ping routine and then execute the ftp?  Or did you modify the command
itself and add a prompt override program or some such animal?
