Am I off-base here? Am I missing something? I intend to submit some RFC's unless you folks tell me I am missing something.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ha lu001/entrftpenv.htm Under the -f switch, gives the search order for "FTP.DATA" under UNIX and under TSO. What about for a batch job? (And no, it does not seem to be covered in "Submitting FTP requests in batch" either.) https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ha lu001/ftpreq.htm "You can add comments to the command input file using the REXX program that stacks the commands." Huh? What does Rexx command stacking have to do with using FTP in batch? "When a user ID, password, or password phrase is expected (including passwords that are required for read or write access to files or disks), the entire line must be blank." What? Where would you code the password then? I *guess* they mean that if you want FTP to prompt interactively for the password, the entire line must be blank, including the absence of comments? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ha lu001/subconcat.htm "If concatenated files contain both sequenced and unsequenced input command files, each file must have a semicolon (;) in the first data column." Wouldn't that make every line a comment? Looking at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ha lz001/ftpclientseqnumsupport.dita#secnum I guess they mean "in the first data column of the first record" but looking at the examples I am not perfectly clear on how it works. It appears that a comment in the first record indicates both the presence and the absence of sequence numbers.
