RE: Weird result creating a SAVF via FTP

It appears that QUOTE RCMD CRTSAVF MYLIB/MYSAVF processes it correctly. Why QUOTE CRTSAVF converts to CRTSRCPF is just plain wrong.

I always thought that QUOTE executed the command on the remote machine which is what RCMD does. RCMD does not exist in the PC world. So, apparently QUOTE sends the RCMD to the remote machine to execute the command. I'm so confused but I have a workable command so I'll try to figure it out some other day.

Thanks for the direction.

Not sure, I have a similar script, but this one saves first to an existing save file.
The difference I notice is that in my script just after the QUOTE subcommand I always use RCMD like:

QUOTE RCMD SAVOBJ(...)....

It looks like the RCMD may be optional but better use it always.
If you always use the same name for the save file, I recommend to create it first and leave it alive always and use the SAVLIB or the SAVOBJ commands, whatever your design is. You only need to make sure to include CLEAR(*YES) so that it won't send an inquiry message asking if you want to Go and replace the contens.

Try to add the RCMD keyword, maybe this helps, but I'm not sure if this will fix that.

I have a .bat file on my windows PC that needs to connect to an IBM I,
create a SAVF, and then upload a file from the PC into the SAVF. My
script file is as follows:



open systemname

userid

password

quote "CRTSAVF MYLIB/MYSAVF"

bin

put file.savf mylib/mysavf

close

quit



This creates a PF named mylib/myfile. It does not create a SAVF. If
the file already exists, I get an error that CRTSRCPF failed. Why is
it converting the CRTSAVF to a CRTSRCPF? How do I get it to create the SAVF?



This is on a 7.4 machine that is current (as of Monday) with PTFs.



This is going to connect to 8 different machines so I'd rather not log
into each one of them to do the CRTSAVF.
