Re: FTP script variables

That definitely works. Another method I have used in the past was
TAATOOLS to build the script dynamically. Just seemed so dumb that I
know the name of the file to send and nothing else changes, then to
have to monkey around with building scripts of editing them.

No big deal.

John,

What I have done in the past is use a CL program to execute the FTP script.
Since I know exactly where in the script record the file name is found, I
have a program that takes the variable name and writes it into the script
record.

Subject: FTP script variables

I've never seen anything about an input file of FTP commands using
variables.  My assumption is that FTP won't work that way.

In the past, I have built FTP scripts on the fly.  This latest vendor
"request" seems like another one of those cases.

This is FTP and not sFTP.

Same location.  Different filename throughout the day.  I can build
the script dynamically, or just make copies of the exiting script and
change the put command.

Just wondered if CL variables could be used.
