Hey Charles, I took you seriously the first time. I appreciate your interest in helping. Bottom line, I'd like to come up with a job any z/OS customer could run, without requiring changes to any of their system files (like FTPCDATA or AT-TLS or RACF) that would allow them to transmit files

Consistent with your comment about BPXBATCH, I suspect you will need to run FTP (via PARM= input) under BPXBATCH (via EXEC PGM=), and then the //STDENV DD will be read. HTH, Mike -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of

I have considerable experience in hacking FTP into doing unnatural acts but not enough of a UNIX person to be totally up-to-speed on using environment variables. What is it that you are trying to get FTP to do that PARM= + SYSFTPD DD * + INPUT DD * will not accomplish? Charles -Original

Hello, I'm setting up a batch job to access our FTP server using FTPS and TLS 1.2. (Forgive me if that nomenclature is less than perfect.) I've imported certficates, built a keyring, and come up with a combination of FTP client parameters that will allow me to connect to the server and upload

I dunno, though, the first part of it was entertaining. And as I'm not a systems programmer (I came into mainframe security through the development door), many of the more on-topic threads here are opaque to me, so the occasional fight over COBOL or CLIST provides some diversion. --- Bob

Confused? Difficult to say--the brash nature of this debate is clouding things. There is an example above which uses something like ''0001'B to initialise a variable. In Rexx, that is not a boolean value. Depending on which interpreter you use, it is either a byte with contents x'01', which
