One idea I've used is to have a QMQRY that replaces a line in a script - I have a shell with all the lines I need that I copy to a temporary member, maybe in QTEMP, maybe in the same file. Then STRQMQRY to replace anything I need to. STRQMQRY can have substitution variables, which could be your file name.

So, something like

cpyf ftpscripts ftpscripts shell temp mbropt(*replace)
ovrdbf ftpscripts ftpscripts temp
strqmqry yourqry setvar((filename &file))
dltovr ftpscripts
ovrdbf input ftpscripts temp
ftp ip-address
dltovr input

Another option could use QShell, I think, with grep or sed, to replace a marker with the filename. Again, you'd want to copy the shell to a temp member, so as not to change the shell.

Hi all,

Is it a best practice to use multi-member Physical File for FTP script for multiple file transfer? Each member in the PF contains FTP script for different files. Files need to be transfered from a non-AS/400 server to the IFS using a auto batch CL.

Is there any other way so that we can avoid hardcoding the file name in FTP script and use a single FTP script for all different files?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
