Re: FTP error

Classic example of which comes first, the chicken or the egg?
Your "normal" example does a 
RMVM of member LSOUTPUT in file LSOUTPUT
Then it adds the member back.  Possibly to get a fresh member?
However, it can't handle it if the member is not there in the first place.
I would think that a combo of RMVM and ADDPFM could be replaced by CLRPFM. 
 However, if it is not ADDPFM but some other operation that creates the 
member (and cannot be specified to replace a member instead of adding a 
member), then you're program needs to be able to handle a "fresh" file. 
Like, a RMVM with an appropriate MONMSG.  Although RMVM doesn't have, what 
is in my mind, an appropriate MONMSG.  Instead of a "member not found" it 
is too generic.  How do you know, without further evaluation of the 
joblog, if the member was not found, or if you do not have authority to 
it?

So, in your case, you may have to do a one time setup of ADDPFM to get it 
to work right.

Another option is to remove the member at the END of the program instead 
of the beginning, but that may take further study.
