Brian,

Scott Klement's FTPAPI is largely oriented to use from RPG. If you
prefer to work in CL, I have a command interface to some of the
functions that Scott provides.

I am distributing the command interface under the GPL v2 or later. Let
me know if you would like me to send you a copy.

HTH,
Terry.

Ahhhhh, so true. I commented out that statement when I was

debugging the script and didn't bother adding it back in.

Thanks a bunch fellas. And thanks for the heads up on the API,

Charles.

Brian,

It has been a lot of time since I have done this (using a FTP

script from

inside a CL pgm) but, aren't you supposed to OVRDBF your output as

well (eg.

OVRDBF OUTPUT TOFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) MBR(SRCNAME)?

Hi All,

I'm having a bit of a challenge with one of my programs and how it

behaves

when it is run. The program I wrote will use an input file to go

to an FTP

site, get a file and quit. However, when I execute the program it

starts

the FTP session in a semi-interactive session. It's semi in the

sense that

the script will run, but at the end of the script where I have a

QUIT

command, it will pause and wait for the user to press enter to end

the

terminal session.

What I expect to happen is that the program will automatically

exit when it

encounters the QUIT. When I try the commands manually (ie: from a

CL do an

FTP RMTSYS and enter each command one by one), it works fine when

I type

QUIT it exits the terminal session without asking for me to press

enter.

However, running it in the program will prompt the user before

exiting and

continuing on with the program.

Here is a snippet of the code causing me grief:

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(DEVSRC/QCLLESRC)

MBR(FTPEXPDTA)

GET: FTP RMTSYS('xx.xx.xx.xx')
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000) EXEC(DO)
SNDUSRMSG MSG('"SPEXP" Was not done normally as

"FTP"

MSGTYPE(*INFO) TOMSGQ(QSYSOPR)
GOTO CMDLBL(END)
ENDDO

And here is the contents of FTPEXPDTA:
(username) (password)
CDUP
SENDPA
QUOTE SITE LRECL=500 RECFM=FB
LCD Mylocaldir
CD remotelib
GET EXPEDITE (REPLACE
QUIT

Anyone have any idea why this is occurring? It's probably

something small

on which I'm gapping, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!
