Re: [Bulk] FTP to a Delimited File

Jerry:

The syntax that FTP understands (with NAMEFMT 0 for the QSYS.LIB file system) is "library/filename.membername"

And, you can have a period in the member name, after the first "." that delimits it from the file name.

Try it this way:

put c:\adams\@Worklib\Text.txt tstqs36f.d.c701

Or, try "library qualifying" the target file, like this:

put c:\adams\@Worklib\Text.txt qgpl/tstqs36f.d.c701

I am trying to FTP a text file to a source physical file with a single
member. For example:

put c:\adams\@Worklib\Text.txt tstqs36f/d.c701

The push "works" BUT the FTP process say "150 Sending file to member C701 in
file D in library TSTQS36F"

I tried qualifying the file name as "D.C701" but got the same message. It
did create a file named "D" and the data was there.

Tried single quotes with equivalent results. Except that it created a file
named "D#".

There is, by the way, already a member in the source physical file with the
same name (i.e., D.C701).

So how do I push to a file/member which is delimited?
