And one thing to be aware of when using concatenated data sets as input to z/OS FTP. If the first or an intervening data set is empty (assuming a valid EOF has been written to the empty data set) and the following data sets are not empty, EOF is signaled without processing the following non-empty data sats.

FTP on zOS is like a dog walking on its hind legs, it is not that it does it well, but that it does it at all. The amazing thing is that it works as well as it does, and every time I use FTP to download software and service from IBM I am filled with joy. I remember ordering round tapes and waiting a month for them to arrive, and praying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
