I may not be getting the question entirely, but it seems like a relatively trivial task to open the dataset list, build an ftp "put" command for each dataset, and then run FTP using the generated "put" list.
Or, am I missing something here? |

This is a simple exec that I use. It's designed to run as an ISPF EDIT macro, bit you can use any portions of it you might wish to:
| Code: |
/* REXX FTPIT */
"ISREDIT MACRO"
"ISREDIT (currdsn) = DATASET"
"ISREDIT (currmem) = MEMBER"
Parse Upper Source . . execname . execdsn . . execenv .
"ALLOC DD(SYSPRINT) DUMMY REU"
"ALLOC DD(OUTPUT) DUMMY REU"
ddnftp = '#'Right(Time(S),7,'0')
If Length(currmem) <> 0 Then
Do
"ALLOC DD("ddnftp") DA('"currdsn"("currmem")') SHR REU"
End
Else
Do
"ALLOC DD("ddnftp") DA('"currdsn"') SHR REU"
End
/* Process inline panel and message definitions */
ddname = '$'Right(Time(S),7,'0')
memname = 'ZZ'
"ALLOC DD("ddname") NEW REU RECF(F B) LRECL(80) DIR(2) SP(1) TR"
"ISPEXEC LMINIT DATAID(did) DDNAME("ddname") ENQ(EXCLU)"
"ISPEXEC LMOPEN DATAID("did") OPTION(OUTPUT)"
Do 1
Do a = 1 To 999 Until Substr(line,1,8) = '/*MEMBER'
line = Sourceline(a)
End
Parse Var line . memname .
Do a = (a + 1) To 999 While Substr(line,1,2) <> '*/'
line = sourceline(a)
"ISPEXEC LMPUT DATAID("did") MODE(INVAR) DATALOC(line) DATALEN(80)"
End
"ISPEXEC LMMADD DATAID("did") MEMBER("memname")"
End
"ISPEXEC LMFREE DATAID("did")"
"ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB LIBRARY ID("ddname") STACK"
"ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(FTPIT)"
If rc = 0 Then
Do
Queue "sendsite"
Queue "ascii"
Queue "cd temp"
Queue "put //dd:"ddnftp" "filename
Queue "qui"
x = Outtrap(x.)
"FTP "server" 21 (Exit=8"
retcode = rc
x = Outtrap(Off)
If retcode = 0 Then zedlmsg = 'Success'
Else zedlmsg = 'Failed'
zedlmsg = Time('L') execname zedlmsg 'RC='retcode
"ISPEXEC SETMSG MSG(ISRZ000)"
End
Exit 0
/*MEMBER FTPIT
)Attr Default(%+_)
$ Type(Input) Intens(Low) Pad(_) Caps(Off)
_ Type(Input) Intens(Low) Pad(_) Caps(On)
! Type(Input) Intens(Low) Pad(' ') Caps(Off)

)Proc
)End

Hey superk,
This is a pretty slick exec if I could get it to work. I am not an FTP expert so I could use so help what to fill in here.
1) Is the "FTP Server Address" the IP address or URL of the mainframe?
2) Is the "Target Filename" the filename on my PC?
I was getting these errors:
IKJ56500I COMMAND CD NOT FOUND
IKJ56500I COMMAND PUT NOT FOUND
IKJ56500I COMMAND QUI NOT FOUND
Enter FTP Server Address => ____________________________
Enter Target Filename => ____________________________
Thanks,
Tom |

1. The "FTP Server Address" is the TCP/IP address, or domain name, of the REMOTE FTP Server you're connecting to.
2. Yes. It's the target filename on the remote FTP server. It's an optional field. |

the most common issue with sourceline and invalid call message
is that You are trying to sourceline after the end of file
the best way to avoid it is to find the number of lines in the rexx script with
| Code: |
| lines = sourceline() |
to test it
| Code: |
EDIT USER.CLIST(Z) - 01.02 Columns 00001 00072
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
000001 /*REXX - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
000002 /* */
000003 /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
000004 Trace "O"
000005 lines = sourceline()
000006 do l = 1 to lines
000007 say l sourceline(l)
000008 end
000009 exit
****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

hello,
Thanks a lot for providing a very professional and sophisticated code. When i entered the i/p address of the host after the prompt, im getting an error message that the required input field is missing.
For example
Enter FTP Server Address%=> 111.111.11.11
Please guide me how to proceed. |

| Are you using the FPTIP panel provided by Superk? Because it does not verify the fields. You should not be getting that message. |

| Great to see quick responses from you all.....iam using the same code created by superk. I am totally new to REXX. All i did was, removed the _z variable and entered the IP address of the host. Could you please provide a screen shot of the inputs that you provide in this case. Sorry if its a trivial question, but nevertheless, its a chance for me to learn.. |

Hello,
People should usually not post actual ip addresses. . . |

What happens when you use the example without changing it?
You seemed to have removed the 'z' after the prompt in the panel definition, but you probably did not realize that it works in conjunction with the .zvars statement.
This code:
| Code: |
)Body
+Enter FTP Server Address%=>_z +
+Enter Target Filename %=>_z +
)Init
.zvars = '(server filename)' |
is more or less equivalent to:
| Code: |
)Body
+Enter FTP Server Address%=>_server +
+Enter Target Filename %=>_fileame + |
The underscore character in the example means that an input field follows and also that a variable name follows. If you want to set an initial value, set it in the )INIT section. Something like this:
| Code: |
| server = '999.999.999.999' |

Did you edit the ISPPLIB PDS and see if it contains a member that's the same name as the one you're calling for?
Other than that, you're going to have to give us some details, traces, whatever. |

But now it is giving me error as below.

S013-18 From the manual that YOU should already have looked at.
And as you didn't post the IEC141I message
| Quote: |
Explanation: The error occurred during processing of an OPEN macro instruction. This system completion code is accompanied by message IEC141I. Refer to the explanation of message IEC141I for complete information about the task that was ended and for an explanation of the return code in register 15 (which is provided in the IEC141I message text).
Application Programmer Response: Respond as indicated for message IEC141I.
System Programmer Response: If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Provide the JCL and the program listing for the job. |
Some assitance.
You allocate the library NOT the library and membername to ISPPLIB.
The way that you have coded your LIBDEF the system is looking for member XYX in your definition of Data_Set_Name(XYZ).
Also, why do you bother to do an ALLOC as well - not needed. |
