RE: FTP text source problem

Hi Ron

There isn't a way (as far as I know) of continuing the FTP command over
multiple lines.  You can specify command strings greater than 80 chars in
interactive mode so the same will be true for the batch mode.  I think your
problem is the record length of the source file you specified when you
created it (default 96 chars).  Create the FTP source file with a record
length of 256 (for example) and you will be able to get around yout problem.

Alternatively, try splitting your ADDM command into two - for example

        ADDM library/file mbr TYPE(srctype)
        CHGPFM library/file mbr TEXT('description')

etc.

Hope it helps and Merry Christmas

Subject: FTP text source problem




Im trying to send source members from one as400 to another in batch using a
source member with the FTP commands. When sending a new source member, the
source type and description do not appear with the new source member so I
want to run the quote ADDM command to create a blank member before I send
the new member over.

The problem I'm having is that the command quote ADDM is too long to fit on
a single line in the source member. Is there a way to continue the command
onto a second line? I've tried plus sign, minus sign, no sign - no luck.
Couldn't find anything in the manuals or the archives.
