Hi,

I have reterived set of programs to a PDS from endevor based on Processor group. Now i want to load all the members from PDS to a windows Folders. Each member may transfer thru FTP to text / word file.

How we will load PDS to a Folder? I searched earlier posts but couldnt find my requirement. Please share me your knowledge or earlier posting links. Thank you.

CD to the pds, eg: cd 'user1.foo.bar', and use the mget and possibly prompt commands within FTP. you may also need a few other commands like ascii depending on your system's defaults.

most emulators have a batch transfer process built-in.

Kolusu,

Thanks. I already seen this posting, but my requirement has a marginal changes. We are doing some re-engineering stuffs in our module, so retrieved set of COBOL programs from endeavor then load into PC in text file / any format, using FTP. If we have 10 members in a PDS, the FTP file will route into 10 PC different files not into a single file.

For instance, if we have a 7 members in a library

I used the below Sysin, but it is not working. I did some research to know MGET will work, but in the spool we received "The system cannot find the file specified"

Below are the SYSIN, What is the concept of MGET, appriciate your reply.

<IP address>
<User id>
<Pasword>
CD <Directory>
ASCII
MGET 'D#MMA.PTEST.LIB (*)'
QUIT

sabarisavi,

I wasnt talking about FTP MGET. Read premkumar's solution in the link once again

[semigeezer]

For my understanding, Premkumar

I used your approch, by using MGET, but we received RC=0 but the files are not transfered. we got "The system cannot find the file specified" .

Please see my Today's first post, i have mentioned the code.

I always use the PC emulator session. you can select with '*', define an output name mask, define the folder (or it will do it for you), hit enter, minimize the emulator window and then logon to kolusu's site for a while.

no, I said cd into the directory. You tried to transfer using a the dsname and a wildcard for the member.

Thanks to everyone, I found another way also easiest too. Not required any third party tools, like XMIT / XMITMANAGER.

use Simple JCL of PGM=FTP and use the below SYSIN.

<IP address>
<User id>
<Pasword>
CD <Directory>
MPUT 'D#MMA.PTEST.LIB(*)'
QUIT

Now, all the 7 members will be Loaded (FTP) to 7 different windows file in your CD <directory>, now you can Open with Text file and save to Text / Word file.
