Guess I should have checked the Midrange-L inbox this morning as well
as the archives.  I saw the reference to
http://www.the-eggman.com/seminars/ftp_error_codes.html.  For those who
prefer a more "official" list, see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/index.htm?info/RZAIQFTPSRPLY.HTM
(Yes, it's InfoCenter, I actually found something useful on the first
search I submitted!  Wow!  Bookmanager / Softcopy still rules, tho <g>)

The "TCP/IP Configuration and Reference" (Softcopy!) mentions:
  Three-digit FTP error reply codes start with 4 or 5. Be 
  careful to avoid messages such as '467 bytes transferred...'.
But it appears that all the 'nnn bytes transferred" messages always
leave position 1 blank, so my assumption is that checking for 3 digits
in positions 1-3, followed by a blank in position 4 should *guarantee*
that it is an FTP result code of some sort.

THE BIG QUESTION:
Is it safe to use logic that says everything worked great as long as
there are no 3-digit codes greater than 299?
