List Multiple directories during FTP Session

During an FTP session, I need to go to 3 directories on a remote system. I want to list out the contents of the directories for me to use later. I know I can use the DIR (disk command, and it will put the data in *CURLIB/DIROUTPUT.DIROUTPUT, but it is a replacement, not an add, so I can only get one directory listing per FTP session. I don't want to have to end the session, and restart it 3 times. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Hi,

What you could do is rename your file between each directory listing. Something like this :-

CD DIR1
DIR (DISK
SYSCMD RNMOBJ OBJ(*CURLIB/DIROUTPUT) OBJTYPE(*FILE) NEWOBJ(DIR1)
CD DIR2
DIR (DISK
SYSCMD RNMOBJ OBJ(*CURLIB/DIROUTPUT) OBJTYPE(*FILE) NEWOBJ(DIR2)
CD DIR3
DIR (DISK
SYSCMD RNMOBJ OBJ(*CURLIB/DIROUTPUT) OBJTYPE(*FILE) NEWOBJ(DIR3)

Then after your FTP session copy all the files into one total file :-

CPYF FROMFILE(*CURLIB/DIR1) TOFILE(*CURLIB/TOTDIR) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*YES)
CPYF FROMFILE(*CURLIB/DIR2) TOFILE(*CURLIB/TOTDIR) MBROPT(*ADD)
CPYF FROMFILE(*CURLIB/DIR3) TOFILE(*CURLIB/TOTDIR) MBROPT(*ADD)

Martin Gilbert.

    I have the same problem posted by Klw, but I would like to read the directories names before. For the moment, the solution I have is to do a FTP "dir (disk" for every level I find and add the result in my own file. I wonder if there is a more confortable solution... Thank you
