Now this is interesting. It has been my experience in the past that when
I tried to supply overriding DCB parameters FTP reverted to the values
in the DSCB. Perhaps something has changed. And I rember something
like:
//FTPFILE DD FILEDATA=TEXT,RECFM=VB,LRECL=999,PATH'/some/unix/path'
//INPUT DD *
...
ASCII
PUT //DD:FTPFILE remote.data.set
My intent was that FILEDATA=TEXT in the DD statement would cause the
file to be broken at into records at <NL> separators. It didn't work.
The memory is fuzzy; I may try to reconstruct.
