Re: Batch FTP Fails, Interactive works - what to change?

Hey Peter,

I just did a little test, changing my source to CLP, and removing the JOB
parm to the override of the file.  The program worked just great, so either
the default for the override in a CLP is JOB, or the OPM program and the FTP
run in the same activation group.  I don't know which.

Hi Jim,

Well, they're both CLP's, not CLLE's, and I don't think they're ever
called from an ILE program. but the APAR does say "...since the FTP
program runs in the activation group *NEW...".  I thought a CLP runs in
the QILE activation group, so if FTP starts a new activation group, it
seems like it would have the same override scope problem.
