Couple questions, what is dictating the longest length that you need in your
ftp input file.
If you look at an FTP screen the area that you could free format type a
command is quite long.
I have one ftp input file defined as 92 and another defined as 198.

With the following two commands:

OVRDBF INPUT QTEMP/MYFTPCMDS

FTP rmtsys



On a V5R3 system using FTP, I have been unable to determine the maximum
acceptable record length (or maximum utilized record length if applicable)
for the MYFTPCMDS file above. At present, the record length is 128 in our
utility command and we know we need to extend this, but we need to
understand the limits. A search of archive.midrange.com and a search of
publib.boulder.ibm.com didn't yield this information, or I missed it.



Similarly, can this be overridden to an IFS file?



I'd love to switch to Scott's solution, but unfortunately in the current
environment it'd be tough to get that past the auditors. (It's a
familiarity / comfort level / lack-of-education / red-headed-stepchild
issue.)
