The file to be deleted is not local. It is remote, on a Windows box. I cannot run IDCAMS or IEFBR14 on a Windows box <grin>. So it must be deleted it via a "del" command in the ftp command stream. And programming staff refuses write the JCL to run this as two separate steps, the one with the "del" being without the (EXIT so that the RC will be 0 even if the "del" fails. I could make more comments, but they would indicate a "bad attitude" of a "poor team player". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
