Santosh, Are you sure that your COBOL process has finished with the file when your second attempt to PUT fails? Perhaps it still has a lock on the member and that is why FTP cannot write to the file. Are you sure that your COBOL process is not deleting the member when it finishes processing it? You might try using FTP remote command to fire your COBOL process. From the client, after the PUT, send QUOTE RCMD ccc where ccc is whatever CL command you want to execute on the AS/400. This is essentially what you were suggesting in your idea #3, but less work. -Marty --__--__-- Subject: trigger on file after remote ftp To: midrange-l@midrange.com From: santoshp@lot.tatasteel.com Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 13:33:11 +0530 Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com My problem: A file called FL55AFL comes from the remote machine via FTP. The command there is PUT SANTOSH/TRGTEST.TRGTEST QGPL/FL55AFL.FL55AFL this works fine everytime i run it and the file gets changed at the local machine. Now i have added a trigger on the file FL55AFL for an after/insert. This trigger will call a CL and a COBOL program. THe cobol program does some calculations after that. After this i again ftp from remote nachine with the fol command.. PUT SANTOSH/TRGTEST.TRGTEST QGPL/FL55AFL.FL55AFL this results in failure of ftp with the fol error mesg. put santosh/trgtest.trgtest fl55afl 227 Entering Passive Mode (89,0,0,16,20,78). 150 Sending file to member FL55AFL in file FL55AFL in library QGPL. 426-Cannot write to member FL55AFL in file FL55AFL in library QGPL. 426 Data transfer ended. Message . . . . : 426-Cannot write to member FL55AFL in file FL55AFL in library QGPL. Now when i go to the local machine and check the file, it has no members while before ftp , it had 1 member . Apparantly, when the ftp was executed , it seems that it deletes the existing member and creates a new one. While the member was deleted during ftp , it was not created successfully. If I remove the trigger, the thing starts working. My requirement is very simple : Whenever a particular file comes to my machine, i should be able to run a program. For this, i can think of 3 ways : 1, The way i mentioned as above . but i got stuck. 2. Can we monitor the change date and time of a particular file continously. Whenever it is updated , the required cobol program will run. 3. From the remote system , after the ftp , we send a message thru socket programs which when recieved here will fire the cobol application. This options is always used in my company and a third party product runs here just like the MQ Series. But my contention is why isnt the first option working? why is the trigger preventing in creation of a member during ftp. Are there some options to be given in the ftp command which will make it happen??? I hope u all go the right picture of my problem, Santosh.
