#1: FTP from UNIX to Mainframe Author: SMS,

Hi,

My requirement is to transfer a data file from UNIX to mainframe with different name and length.

For this the corresponding FTP JCL as follows:
//MEMARS1 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='SERVER NAME'
//INPUT DD *
username pwd
ASCII
LOCSITE LRECL=232
LOCSITE BLKSIZE=2320
LOCSITE RECFM=VB
LCD 'userid.YYY'
MGET /X/Y/FILE.DAT (REPLACE

The dataset is created as 'userid.FILE.DAT'. But I want to
create as 'userid.YYY'. I have tried with GET /X/Y/FILE.DAT 'userid.YYY'.
but it is not working.

Could anyone please let me know how to achieve this ?

I am not getting any error message, job returns maxcc=0. But the file is not getting copied as required.

SMS,

Are you trying to copy to an existing dataset? or a new dataset?

Why not do this?

Code:

//MEMARS1 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='SERVER NAME'
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=userid.YYY,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// LRECL=232,BLKSIZE=2320,RECFM=VB
//INPUT DD *
username pwd
ASCII
GET /X/Y/FILE.DAT //DD:SYSUT1

Or cd to /x/y and then do an mget
(I haven't tried but in theory it should work because part of the process of get and mget is to determine the name of the output file and if you are in the directory, then the output files will be named the same as the individual files. You may have problems if your unix file names do not match MVS member naming standards such as length <=8, no spaces, etc).

Superk,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have tried the following method, but it does not solve my purpose. When I checked in sysout, after the GET command, it shows
Usage: GET foreignfile <localname> <(REPLACE>.

//INPUT DD *
username pwd
ASCII
GET /X/Y/FILE.DAT //DD:SYSUT1

My requirement is to copy an UNIX file in to mainframe with new name,length and record format(FB/VB).

I think we need to see what error you get when you specify:

get /x/y/file.dat 'userid.yyy'

or

get /x/y/file.dat 'userid.yyy' (replace
