I was surprised when it happened to me.  I made
the mistake of assuming it would work as other 
programs do, COBOL programs and non-OMVS utilities.

However, when I went to the manual it explicitly stated that
was the way it worked.  So you're probably right. 

And TRSMAIN will be quite happy to explode an
incomplete input data set, giving a zero RC.

Isn't that a universal problem that transcends FTP?

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.
