Title: Continuing FTP script statement.
As I
said, I've extended the record length and that works. I'm not keen on
transferring my own commands to a remote system. That raises a whole set
of new issues concerned with version control. The initial problem was raised
simply because I couldn't get all of the RSTOBJ command on one line of a normal
80 byte source line.
I
looked at the midrange archive and Dennis Loveday had replied to the same
question thinking that a back slah provided some sort of continuity (just like
in the UNIX implementation), but on testing at V4.3 it didn't
work. The person who raised the issue found the same
solution as I did........create a longer record length! In fact he hit the same
limit as I did - 240 byte.
This
must be a common problem!
FTP
seems to be a worm-hole into another system and now I'm concerned about the
issue of a user id/password being held in a script file for anyone to
see.
And
I'm even more concerned with the idea of placing a command on a client's system.
perhaps PWRDWNSYS? DLTF A* Access some source? Yee Gods! Change some
production source?
I've
printed off section 9 of the TCP/IP Configuration reference which contains the
FTP implementation.
My
wife is going to love me bringing another sexy book to bed tonight!
Looks
like I need to sniff around a lot more to get a bigger grip on all the security
scenarios.
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
