Great minds think alike! Solved a similar problem much the same way, except I used only one EXEC.
IIRC, FTP can be done by stuffing commands to a dataset, invoking FTP, then looking at the output results. That is, first stuff a DIR command, then parse the output translating into individual GET commands and stuffing into the next commands file, then invoking FTP again. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 10:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: MGETing PC files with 2 nodes I consider the following to be "simple". I do an ftp step which does a "dir" to list the file names. The output is put into a MVS dataset. The second step is a REXX program to parse the data in the MVS dataset, creating ftp "get" commands. The third step is to use those commands to actually get the members of the PDS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
