>Does z/OS have a way to automatically FTP reports from JES to a >destination host? >
YOu might look at a product called JES2FTP from www.casisoft.com which does take JES2 reports, converts them to PDF's and FTP's them off to a place of choosing. Back a while ago, I had a user requirement to post 300+ mainframe DYL280 reports to widows web server. So they trained a windows person to download the reports (IND$FILE) to a PC manually convert them to a PDF, and manually FTP them to the windows machine. Two hours later, he was barely into it. The statistican asked us for a better way and we added a last step onto his batch job and he would create the reports and also do the transfer. The kid went onto another PC project. I believe there is a way to run it outside of batch using some form of WRITER but I am not postive. They also have JES2Mail to attach them to an e-mail. There is just out a "free" JES2Mail-Lite which replaces your z/OS SMTP process for sending out e-mails and makes the idea of attaching files far, far, easier than one would need to do using SMTP. I am told with the Lite client you can get support for a very small fee but is not necessary. Not to plug these folks, but the cost is reasonable and support is wonderful. Propose a new feature and it most often comes very quickly.
