Hi,
I need to FTP a file from another server and the file name should be created dynamically based on the current date (date from the scheduler). Please help. |

How does your card look like? And what about the format of date in the file-name.
Please post the FTP card using "Code" button given here. You can use "Preview" to make sure that the post looks as you expected and then "Submit" |

Hi Arun,
Its a very simple FTP Step - my only problem is I need to give a file name which is dynamically generated with the current date.
Thanks,
Meekha |

Meekha, let's go back to the beginning. You said:

How does your scheduler supply this value to the JCL? Will it be in the form of a variable? Can your scheduler directly update a PDS member for your FTP step and add the proper date there? |

Hi Superk,
The date will be supplied from the OPC scheduler when it executes the job. We will be providing a symbolic parameter like
The value will be taken from the OPC Scheduler.
Thanks,
Meekha |

I'm no OPC expert, but I believe that it can edit and replace any designated values in a target JCL datastream before submitting that data to the Internal Reader for execution.
I would suggest that the poster contact his OPC Support Team to work this out.
In the meantime, since I don't see how this topic is a JCL issue, I'm moving it into the IBM Tools forum. Maybe there's an OPC expert out there who might know how this is done. |

| Code: |
//FTPPUT1 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT TIMEOUT 99'
//STEPLIB DD DSN=TCPIP.SEZATCP,DISP=SHR
//SYSTCPD DD DSN=TCPIP.TCPPARMS(...),DISP=SHR
//SYSFTPD DD DSN=TCPIP.TCPPARMS(...),DISP=SHR
//SYSMDUMP DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD01 DD DISP=SHR,DSNAME=DatasetName
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD DSN=...,DISP=SHR
// DD *
TYPE A
LOCSITE SBDATACONN=(IBM-1026,IBM-1254)
PUT //DD:DD01 TheSampleFile&CHHMM..TXT |
you can use that sample FTP step. It is transfering dataset to the Windows FTP server and naming it by the including current Hour and Minute.
(&CHHMM is a TWS parameter) |
