RE: TCP3C8A Operation not authorised

[Dave Boettcher <Dave.Boettcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Evan:
The software that Jeff's company supplies to our hardware maintenance company and which I am trying to get set up, generates a script. When we ended our phone call about noon our time today, Jeff was going to dig into the script generation program. We know that the ftp commands aren't written to the log file and that the error Jeff asked about initially shows up in the job log.
Chuck: I've never done a trace but sounds like a good idea. I'll see if I can try that.

As always, if there are any questions, please let me know. 

Thanks, 

Dave Boettcher

So what function generates the "TCP3C8A Operation not authorised" message, all of them or a specific operation.

How far does the script actually get ?
