Hi,
I am trying to FTP a tape file to a Tape.
I used the below FTP job.
| Code: |
//XXXXX EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=2M,PARM='(EXIT TIMEOUT 900'
//SYSFTPD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=some dataset
//SYSTCPD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=another dataset
//FILEIN DD DSN=XXXXX.YYYYY.ZXZZZ,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD *
DESTINATION ADDRESS
USER ID
PASSWORD
LOCSTAT
STAT
SITE RECFM=VB LRECL=512 BLKSIZE=0
SITE UNIT=CART
SITE DATAC=TAPEVTS STOR=TAPEVTS
BINARY
PUT //DD:FILEIN 'DESTINATION TAPE'
CL
QUIT
/*
|
But the job gives an error
| Code: |
.EZA1736I PUT //DD:FILEIN 'DESTINATION TAPE'
.EZA1685W Invalid local file identifier |
The JCL DD statement excuted fine and there was no DATASET NOT FOUND JCL ERROR. But the FTP was unable to recognise the dataset.
When tried PUT 'XXXXX.YYYYY.ZXZZZ' 'DESTINATION TAPE' the error message was
| Code: |
.EZA2324I 'XXXXX.YYYYY.ZXZZZ' is not on a direct access volume.
.EZA1684W Local file not found. |
How can the FTP be asked to refer tape volumes.?
Could you please shed some light on this.
P.S - The input tape cannot be copied to DASD as its a pretty big dataset.
Thanks, |

I vaguely, and I do mean a few years ago recall that the AUTOMOUNT parameter was needed for a tape input file.
Although things may well have changed, it is the only thing that I can think of. |

Thanks for responding.
The STAT command has the below log output,
| Code: |
.EZA1701I >>>STAT
.211-Server FTP talking to host ::ffff:xxxxxxxxx, port 19923
.211-User: yyyyyyy Working directory: yyyyyyy.
.211-The control connection has transferred 122 bytes
.211-There is no current data connection.
.211-The next data connection will be actively opened
.211-to host ::ffff:xxxxxxx, port 19923,
.211-using Mode Stream, Structure File, type ASCII, byte-size 8

.211-Auto tape mount is allowed.

The log says Automatic tape mount is allowed though  |

Also the SYSFTPD DD has the configuration,
| Code: |
| AUTOTAPEMOUNT TRUE ; automatic mount of TAPE volumes |
Still the same failure  |

Is your z/OS release level high enough to support this function? |

Kevin,
Thanks for responding.
We have
| Code: |
| ZOS390RL S N z/OS 01.09.00 |
Not sure if this is good enough though. 
Is the command support related to FTP version rather than Z/OS version?
Thanks, |

| You need to consult with your site support group -- there may be a security problem preventing FTP from accessing tape drives, or the issue may be something else entirely. I've done FTP from a tape before so I know it can be done. |
