In my view, using an FTP exit is hardly different from coding your own TCP/IP
server, except:
o it uses the existing FTP port number rather than requiring tnat an
idiosyncratic
one be assigned.
o It can rely on the FTP authentication mechanism
The z/OS FTP server as shipped; no exit required can submit jobs and retrieve
their
output with the command:
quote SITE FILETYPE=JES
(and it doesn't suffer the 80-column limit of TSO SUBMIT.) Also, in recent
releases
it has named pipe (FIFO) capability.
Likewise, a "submit" command is shipped with Unix System Services, and an SSH
server can be installed with the ported tools, so I can do the following:
505 $ ssh user@mvs "set -x; /bin/submit" < myjcl
user@mvs's password: ********
+ /bin/submit
JOB JOB07768 submitted from stdin
506 $
... Then I logged on with tn3270 and viewed the output. I didn't need to
use /bin/submit; I could have run any command or script of my devising,
passing it input and reading its output.
What was the OP looking for?
