Change of file name at receiving end thru FTP

radhakrishnan82

FTP parameters:

my control card has

*ip*
*user*
*pw*
put 'AAA.BBBB' CCC.txt (the file name is to be suffixed with datetimestamp and it should be changed for each ran of the job.The name should look like CCC200508121250 and the next day it should be CCC20050813121206 and so on....)
quit

Give me your suggestions whether i could change it on JCL side.no problem if change should be in the program(pls provide the code).

This step can build the "put" control card:

radhakrishnan82, as a follow-up to your original post, you ask for suggestions, and even possible code samples. Yet, you have provided nowhere near enough background information (including what language the code should be in) for anyone to provide any reasonable suggestions.

Yes, I think that the program that is creating this data should also be supplying the value for the filename. There should be a process in place to easily re-transmit any file to it's original target filename, thereby overlaying the original file when needed. I think, for auditing and problem-tracking purposes, that there should be a one-to-one correlation between the dataset on the mainframe (which is presumably a GDG) and the target filename.

superk,

Sorry to feel that i ran short of information.
My requirement is a new one and nowhere its been used in our shop till.
The code can either be in JCL or in COBOL.I thought of writing a cobol program to implement this logic. But if it can be done thru JCL,its well and good.

Thanks for the above solutions.I will try it at my end.

When i ran the above,it gave FTP Return Code = 99000

Now its working fine.But tell me is it possible to append upto milliseconds to the FTP'd dataset instead of stopping upto SECONDS.

Thanks for all your replies.

Where would you find a time value down to that level of precision?

radhakrishnan82

I think of the same.But my requirement is to add upto that precision.
Don't we have a symbol to do upto that precision level?

superk

These are the standard Dynamic System Symbols:

I had already searched in Dynamic System Symbols.But the symbol for millisecond level is not present in it.

I concatenated some of dynamic system symbols with &LSEC to acheive that precision level.Though it doesn't give the exact millisecond value,the point is to differentiate at the next level to seconds.Hence I concatenated the symbols to acheive it.

Thanks,superk.
