Re: FTP REMOTE COMMAND timing out under Windows 2000

How about scheduling the COBOL job, and then just using FTP to get the file. If 
the file is there - get it, if the file is NOT there dom't get (Christ 
sometimes I say the most dumb things).
Is there a reason why YOU have to FTP signon to start the COBOL program?

Hi All,

We have been using FTP QUOTE RCMD to run programs on the AS/400 from the PC.
Our FTP script consists of several steps ...

        QUOTE RCMD ADDLIBLE
        QUOTE RCMD CHGDTAARA
        QUOTE RCMD AA317D
        GET datafile

AA317D runs a COBOL program that prepares the datafile.   Under Windows
95/98/NT this worked very well.  But under Windows 2000, we receive
CONNECTION CLOSED BY REMOTE HOST if the remote command  AA317D runs longer
than 60 seconds.   We called Microsoft and was told this is an AS.400 issue.
Somehow we need to send packets back so that we don't time out.   Runtime
exceeds 60 seconds when there is a large amount of data to prepare and the
server is already taxed.  How do we send packets back?  SNDPGMMSG didn't
work.


Thanks
Ron
