RE: R: FTPing Save File

I would say stay away from NAMEFMT 1 unless you need to work with IFS
structure that's not QSYS.LIB.  I guess if you were to tell someone to be
consistent using NAMEFMT 1 would be the best approach since it is used when
accessing every IFS structure where as NAMEFMT 0 only works with QSYS.LIB.

Two different ways to get to the same end.

Your way, using NAMEFMT 1, does makes it easier to automate uploading of
save file data to a 400.


Thank you,

I agree with you there. Then, in the question here, you probably would
precreate the SAVF.

We have a thing where customers are allowed to upload the results of some
data collections. The files are ZIPped versions of SAVFs - you'd not
believe how much a SAVF can be compressed. So our default for FTP is the
home directory, so it's automatically in NAMEFMT 1 on the server.

It makes it uglt, a little, when you want to change to NAMEFMT 0, because
you can't even specify an IFS directory in that format. So I need to CD to
/qsys.lib/vern.lib, say, then NAM 0.
