Thiru, Although you are not responding to my last post which actually indicated you needed to prepend the SITE FTP command in order to send the FILETYPE FTP command to CS IP, I can see that I too was guilty of a lack of care in establishing precisely how you send an FTP command to the CS IP FTP server from Windows, in other words, what the Windows equivalent to the SITE FTP command is.
I checked back to some class exercises I used to set to do precisely what you want to do and I see that on the PC, the FTP command is still "site filetype=jes". However, this was back in the early 90s and it was an IBM education centre and, in those days, everything on the PC had to be OS/2. With a quick look at the FTP commands on my own Windows NT system and with a bit of Googling for "ftp windows help", I note that the QUOTE FTP command sends an arbitrary command to the remote system. (See, for example http://www.computerhope.com/software/ftp.htm) I also had a faint twinge of recognition when I spotted QUOTE so this may be the solution. In other words quote "filetype=jes" put <the job file> ls - in order to find the job output using the information from my last post in order to find the output files get <the job output file> - as many times as necessary quote "filetype=seq" - in order to tidy up Checking my next Google hit which was the Microsoft manual for XP covering FTP, it said precisely the same for QUOTE but added that QUOTE was identical to LITERAL. Looking further I get just the same information. However, despite the name of the FTP command, I'm not actually sure the quotation marks I show in my scenario above are needed so, if the above doesn't work, try without the quotation marks following the QUOTE FTP command. Well, I can be like a dog with a bone at times like this so I thought I'd check Peter's reference - which, of course, strictly isn't appropriate given that it describes what you do with the CS IP FTP client rather than the Windows FTP client. However, Peter's reference does show us what the CS IP FTP server expects for job submission in case more help than I gave in my last post - as well as this one - is needed. Wouldn't you know it, "quote" is also a command of the CS IP FTP client? I quote (well, I would, wouldn't I?) "5.54 QUOte subcommand--Send an uninterpreted string of data Purpose Use the QUOte subcommand to send an uninterpreted string of data to the server port on the foreign host. The QUOte subcommand bypasses the FTP interface of your local host. You can use the QUOte subcommand to send commands that the remote server understands, but that the local host does not understand. Format >>__QUOte__string_______________________________________________________>< Parameters string Specifies the data to be sent verbatim to the remote host FTP server. I stop at the Example - which is a bit complicated - but what the example shows is identical to the sort of action that could have been achieved using the SITE FTP command - or subcommand as it is described in the CS IP manual. I was thinking - shaking my bone - of being critical of the CS IP manual authors but we have to remember that their task in this "User's Guide" is to provide information for the CS IP FTP client. Ideally there would be another manual for the use of users on other platforms. Having worked with TCP/IP for MVS when it first appeared, and when there were far fewer manuals to choose from, I recall that, typically, advice was given on using the TCP/IP for MVS servers from other platforms, typically UNIX, when there was no implementation of a TCP/IP for MVS client. I was going to give X-windows as an example but stopped because this post is quite long enough already and folk who know X-windows terminology will understand very well why I stopped!
