I am going to guess that under UNIX it uses stdin and stdout. My impression is that the FTP client is a happy UNIX program coexisting unhappily as an MVS batch jobstep and TSO command.
What kind of a batch utility uses hard-coded DD names, rather than the "override list passed as parameter two" convention?
