PUT /QDLS/EMAIL/EMAIL.ZIP

instead of stmt 1, use stmt 2.

That all looks OK to me apart from the “550 Cannot STOR.” message. If I google for this it seems to be a problem with authority on the FTP server. Can you check what happens if you FTP from somewhere else, maybe from a PC?

Yes, you’ll need to put the user and password in a file or source file that you can use as a “script” for the FTP session. You then use OVRDBF to override the input for the FTP command to your script file – something like this :-

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(Yourlib/Yourfile) MBR(Yourmember)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(Yourlib/FTPLOG) MBR(Yourmember)
FTP RMTSYS(Servername)
DLTOVR *ALL

This will read the FTP commands from Yourlib/Yourfile(Yourmember) and will create output for the command in Yourlib/FTPLOG(Yourmember) – what would normally be shown on the screen if you run the commands interactively.

This isn’t a marvellous way of handling security (the auditors don’t take kindly to passwords being stored in files) – an alternative is to write a small program that builds the FTP script file for you and prompts for the userid and password – but then you still need manual intervention.
