RE: Dumb Question

["Mark Walter" <mwalter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can override the FTP "INPUT" and "OUTPUT" to physical file members.
Sort of like:

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(MYINPUT) 
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(MYOUTPUT)
FTP RMTSYS(MYSYS)
DLTOVR FILE(INPUT)
DLTOVR FILE(OUTPUT)

- OR -

You may have a 3rd party application like PATownsend FTP Manager doing
FTP. If that's the case, you'll have an API passing a parameter for some
sort of definition, which references your FTP Source.

Subject: Dumb Question

I have a pretty dumb question but try to restrain from laughing (at
least right away) as I don't deal with the inner workings of the system
to that much 

Our 3rd party vendor has a physical file which has FTP source code in it
(basic user-id and password info, etc). This somehow gets called in our
nightly process but as far as I know, it's not compiled anywhere. How
does it execute?
