We are running ZVM 3.1 and TCP/IP 3A0. We use VMFTP quite heavily here. We have a modification to VMFTP named NODELAY. This NODELAY fix changes the original start up command from "FTP 0" to FTP 0.0.0.0"
If I issue a regular FTP command with no arguments, I get prompted straight off to enter the address of the FTP server. No delay at all. If I enter the command FTP 0.0.0.0, there is a delay followed by a message "unknown host:". Perhaps I am just slow because after 2 years of ZVM and TCPIP 3A0 running in production, I noticed tonight all the VMFTP commands have about a 3-6 second delay before anything inside the VMFTP macro. I suspect its because FTP is locating the ftp server at 0.0.0.0. Have any of you noticed this behavior too? If so, how did you get around the delay when looking for 0.0.0.0??? Thanks in advance. Please make me look stupid and tell me it's a tcpip configuration option. It would make my day. Best regards to all, _______________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "Impossible is just an opinion."
