Comments on: How can I check the ftp return codes thru the COBOL (z/OS – OS/390 3.2.0) program? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just drill down to the “i-series FTP” section.

I use a CL program that automates sending savefiles between i-series boxes. I have a SRC-PF (FTPSRC) that contains two members in MYLIB. The first member (FTPCMD) is used as the FTP input that contains the actual FTP commands. The second member (FTPLOG) is the redirected FTP output that contains the log. The example CL program is:

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(UTLLIB/FTPSRC) MBR(FTPCMD)
CLRPFM FILE(UTLLIB/FTPSRC) MBR(FTPLOG)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(UTLLIB/FTPSRC) MBR(FTPLOG)
FTP RMTSYS(‘ip address’)
DLTOVR FILE(INPUT)
DLTOVR FILE(OUTPUT)

We write the FTP log to a MVS dataset and then in a subsequent jobstep parse this log looking to see if the transfer was successful.

If you want to go this way let me know and I can be more specific.
