Re: SFTP Script halting

Another option might even be to consider another mechanism such as lftp or curl perhaps.

Or do an IFS check before even attempting to transfer your file and create a modified script on the fly as necessary so that you don't attempt to transfer a non-existent file.

Another way to consider the problem--

If there is no data to be written, write a do-nothing record to the IFS file. Of course, your process needs to be able to handle this record.

The advantage of this marker record instead of a blank file is that you know the RPG process did complete normally, and the file wasn't deleted or cleared accidentally.

I have an SFTP script that is running within a CL program. It puts
several transaction files on a server (these text files are created on
the IFS by an RPG program).

I recently discovered that the script halts if one of the files is not
present (put crd*.txt).

Is there any way around this? I'd like for the script to ignore the
error and keep going - sometimes there are simply no transactions.
