Don't use the ampersand notation unless you specifically need it. If you don't know what it does differently then you don't need it!

closeFtpConn($MVSFTP);

is the syntax to use.

Why? To quote "Programming Perl": The official name of a subroutine includes the & prefix. A subroutine may be called using the prefix, but the & is usually optional.

When used with parentheses, the & does nothing
differently.  Including it makes clear that the sub is
user-defined.

Martin
