It may be because IBM's FTP program does not return a failure return code when the FTP is not successful. Jobs scheduled through schedulers have no way of knowing when an FTP job fails, and dependent jobs get kicked off. To help you avoid this problem, check out this FTP utility. >> CLICK for full tip: http://search390.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci812969,00.html What do you think of this tip?

And his roof. And his yard. Gaggles of waterfowl think Mr. Microsoft's mansion is the perfect place to leave their "calling cards." Evidently these goose droppings are giving Gates goosebumps. He asked wildlife officials in Washington state to do something about the problem. Now the chief park ranger has the green light to go on a massive bird hunt. Some 4,000 geese could get their gooses cooked thanks to their scatological sorties. If you're a Linux lover, go ahead and yell it: "Go geese, go geese!".
