RE: FTP commands to Japanese system

David,

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but try:

QUOTE RCMD CHGJOB JOB(*) CCSID(xxx)

where "xxx" is the CCSID you want to handle (37?).

That will change the CCSID of the FTP job you are connected with. I don't
know how (or if!) it affects the messages coming back.

Good luck!

Richard

The problem isn't invoking the commands ... but parsing the "550" error
messages that get returned.

When I'm connecting to a Japanese system, with a user profile that's set
to use CCSID 5026, all lower case characters are returned as blanks.

The FTP response messages have lower case characters... so I can't
properly parse the responses.

Unless I missed it earlier, have you tried
"quote rcmd anycommand parm(x)" ??


other than that I can think of a generic CL program that you could call
almost the same as using QCMDEXEC in a program

"quote rcmd call execcmd parm(put command to run here)"

2. I need to be able to execute more commands than the QUOT command
directly supports.
