Yes, the first line of DD INPUT is (asterisks substituted for sensitive data)
USER ******* ********

No, the URL is a synonym for the IP address ("foreign host" in FTP-speak). You
still potentially need a port specification (default is 21) but you definitely
still need to specify a userid and password eventually, somehow. Not just my
theory: the same FTP-attaching code works (1) this customer mainframe to
another server mainframe; and (2) other customer mainframe clients to this
server mainframe.

Does the input have the USER keyword specified, then the actual
userid/password? I thought if you actually connected by specifying a
URL, you didn't need the USER keyword.
