There's no doubt that FTP is the most convenient communication tool on the iSeries. Being able to do a manual transfer here and there is good, but to get some real use out of this type of utility, you need to be able to program it and control it using table-driven variables. This opens the door to scheduled transfers and the ability to feed data for business users on multiple platforms on a regular basis. How would you automate an FTP function? How would you go about creating a process to transfer a different file every day to different systems, the same file to different destinations or a combination of both? Thibault Dambrine shows you how easy it can be. >> LISTEN to broadcast: http://webevents.broadcast.com/techtarget/search400/061703/index.asp?loc=09 >> DOWNLOAD the handout from Thibault's presentation: http://search400.techtarget.com/search400/downloads/Dambrine_slides.ppt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TAKE OUR POLL | Search400.com Reader Survey Do you believe your job to be more secure or less secure than it was at this time last year? >> CAST your vote: http://search400.techtarget.com/#poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | Say goodbye to 'hello' But say howdy to "hasta la vista." A new study is arguing that the end of life is near for formal greetings and that the uber-casual language used in electronic communication is taking over.
