First, I'm not in the TCP-L group. Second this is a general question regarding
the behavior of the z/OS
FTP client. Third, I do not read every IBM manual cover to cover and commit to
memory. In this case,
I should have done number three.
We are running z/OS 1.13. Executing the FTP client via a batch job, as shown
below.
What results would you expect if XYZFILE1 were empty (SMS managed data sets, so
we would have a valid EOF),
and the remaining data sets were not?
0 bytes were transferred because the first data set in the concatenation was
empty. Googling this example, yielded,
Restrictions:
.
.
To prevent transferring data from an empty file, FTP checks whether the first
file in a concatenation series is empty and allocates an empty data set. No
data is transferred.
//STEPXYZ EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT=12'
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xyz
xyzpass
cd xyz
put //dd:input test_data.txt
quit
//SYSTCPD DD DSN=USER.TCPPARMS(TCPDATA1),DISP=SHR
//INPUT DD DSN=XYZFILE1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=XYZFILE2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=XYZFILE3,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=XYZFILE4,DISP=SHR
