This is what FDR does.
Bruce, I think we ran into this issue (with DFDSS) a few years ago. I know that we had found the "trick" with DFDSS. We did not use FDR for back up so we weren't too concerned. What really "surprised" us is that FTP didn't give any error message (I didn't know if its been fixed or not ). I would have been happy if FTP would have put out an error message at least it would have alerted the user(s). I was really inundated with problems at the time and didn't follow through openning a PMR against FTP. IIRC I had gotten a really rotten response on an a PMR I had openned against them (like this is the way the PC people do things and we are doing everything "OUR WAY" to heck with IBM's way of doing things.).
