Title: Continuing FTP script statement.

Mike,

thinking outside of the square, if you have a PC connected to your AS400's, you should be able to set up a text file which can be called using FTP from your PC to access the 400 and run the appropriate commands.

 

Is this an option?

 

Norm

No there's not, but then I'd have to create the command on the other machine. Something I can't gurantee will always be possible. The beauty of the RCMD is that it seems to allow access to the full range of OS/400 commands which all AS400s will have. To run my command remotely I would have to ensure all our clients have access to the new wrapper command which seems to defeat the purpose of FTP.

Anyway, I created a new source file with a record length of 240 bytes to get the full RSTOBJ parameters in one line and it works fine. It's still a limitied solution thought, cos somewhere, someday, somehow the limit will be hit. Thanks for replying though.

Hi, Mike:

 

Is there a reason you cannot create a CLP that will run your ridiculously long AS/400 command, and then just QUOTE RCMD that?

 

Just a thought.

I need to run a longish command to restore a save file after an FTP transfer and the AS400 command statement along with the QUOTE and RCMD verbs is longer than the standard source file record length of 80 bytes.

Is there a way of continuing a script line over two source lines or do I have to create a ridiculously long record length to cater for large script statements?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Pantzopoulos
