Automated FTP

[Ron.Hudson@xxxxxxxxxx]

We are discussing a project where I will need to FTP a file to a Digital
Alpha server
automatically every hour.  The last time I did this was in 1997.  Sample
CLP below.

OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(EGPL/QCLSRC) MBR(FTPCMDS)
OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(EGPL/QCLSRC) MBR(FTPOUT)

FTP        RMTSYS(ALPHA)

This works, but my dislike is checking for errors.  To determine if there were 
any
problems with the transfer, you had to interrogate the FTPOUT.  With this being 
an
automated process, having a program to read the FTPOUT looking for errors isn't 
the
best of solutions in my opinion.

Is there a better way to handle this?

Thanks
