I often placed (+1) GDGs on Win servers for PDFs, accounting data, bank deposit/transfer, payroll deduction, etc.
Yes, the FTP step could have been a separate job using a (0) generation, but not mandatory. I used the correct combination of DISPs and sometimes IFs in the JCL to keep the GDG if the FTP step failed. An FTP failure was normally not enough to stop the rest of the production jobstream from releasing. It was sometimes hit and miss if the Win server was available, especially across the country.

IF the server(mainframe) is putting to Windows, why would you send a new DSN. I could see (-1) or (0) but putting (+1) seems wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
