FWIW, I tested this and it does work, provided you do *not* specify
FMTOPT(*CVTSRC) as you did not in your sample.

It wouldn't even need the CL uploaded first; you could just use QUOTE
RCMD from within FTP to issue the CPYF first, then GET the member from
the data file.  And it works the other direction too, updating SRCDAT
and SRCSEQ from the data member.  You can even use SRCOPT(*SEQNBR) to
renumber the source but restore the source dates.

I don't think you'd want to put the file in QGPL though, because of
potential problems with multi-developer sites.  But from within FTP,
you'd probably be safe using QTEMP for both the RCMD and GET or PUT.

You are adding an extraneous copy operation, but the timing should be
fairly fast for all but monolithic behemoths, and even then the member
may still be in main storage for the second phase copy.

I wish FTP would let use do it directly, but this may be a good
work-around.
