I would like to know how can we give port number in the instream jobcard. For example

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=FTP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD *
aaa.aaa.aa
username
password
Put 'filename' fname
QUIT
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//*

I face an issue when i run the above job with the error "invalid port number" . But for the same ip address and username password i am able to FTP to the server from the Command prompt (option 6)

I have also tried in the job by giving the port number as:
aaa.aaa.aa:21

Still it fails.

Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Leo

You probably have sequence numbers in the rightmost columns in your input instream data. Scroll right and check it out.

It's <i>hostname space port</i>, not <i>hostname colon port</i>.
