Re: Is there a user exit or something similar that I can use to monitor when a FTP command is complete?

Scott's FTP Api does not use scripts. Here is the description of what it
does.
*Download FTP API source:*

*With OS/400 IBM ships a wonderful FTP client that allows you to I do both
interactive and batch file transfers. After attempting to write a few
programs that send files in "batch" mode, I discovered that properly
detecting errors in batch mode was not fun.*

*For my own project, I needed a way to reliably send data to a customer
every day. When this failed, or anything went wrong in the process I needed
an easy way to alert the I.S. department before the customer noticed.*

*From these requirements, the FTP API was born. It uses socket calls to
implement the FTP protocol. If anything goes wrong, it will report the
error, and give the program the ability to retrieve the error message. I
use it both to send/receive files from my customers, and also (as a
seperate job) to log on later and check that the file is actually there.*

*This is a powerful utility with many uses, so I'm opening it up to the
world. Since this has only been tested for a few applications with a few
servers, I'm looking for people to help out with testing, documentation and
maybe even with new featur*

I have reviewed those procedures and have my own utilities that I developed
years ago. MyFTP scripts are not the issue. Its the scripts created before
my time that I have to work on.

Have you looked at Scott Kelments FTP Api? It executes the FTP step by
step
and is designed so that you can determine if the step worked correctly.
If
you go to www.think400.dk/downloads.htm and look for project FTPOBJ
between systems there is an example of using the API.

I need a immediate response to read the log file. On many of the FTP
scripts before my time, the logs were not saved, so I would like to
break
in and scan the log file.

It seems this is not do-able?

Could you query netstat_info and determine that the ftp port for that
job
is dormant?

We have many FTP processes and we need to know when the FTP command
has
completed so that we can read the FTP log and look for failures.

To save modifying hundreds of programs, if there were something like
an
exit point that can tell me the transmission is complete, I could
then
call
a program to read the log and advise if there is a failure.
