Sorry, you are correct. I confused myself. The actions I described is when DD DUMMY is in the middle of a concatenation

I tried IEBGENER (ICEGENER for us) and CoZ's SFTP.

Try concatenating an empty dataset in any utility, and any data after the empty dataset is ignored. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Pinion Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: z/OS FTP client behavior 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 _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
