You should have no problem at all using FTP PUT to create a (+1) generation as long as you have your "target" z/OS server properly configured with a GDG base; and you do not need a model DSCB if the environment is SMS-managed. Might I suggest you start out by submitting a JCL jobstream on the remote system using site filetype=jes and see if your batch job can create a more typical generation.... Also, it's unclear if you have verified there is proper authorization on the remote system for your USERID to even be able to create a GDG generation - lest we make any formidable assumptions on either system. The recent fodder about not being able to create (+1) or having to do so with (0) or some other notation is flat-out incorrect. Again, z/OS is smart enough to help you get the dataset created, as long as you have done your duty to prepare the target system and that you have no conflicts, such as the GDG base being reserved, such as with a DFHSM daily space mgmt activity going on or someone else having the GDG base locked out with a relative generation allocated.
