FTP Delete returns RC=0008

Hi All,

Is there any option to use MDELETE in FTP PROC used? FTP is not able to recognize the command MDELETE.

Also, if a file is not found in FTP directory and DELETE command is issued, the step returns RC=0008.

Can we suppress this error when a file is not found?

Regards,

Yes, MDELETE is most certainly supported in the z/OS Communications Server FTP program:

5.40 MDelete subcommand--Delete multiple files.

Have you tried using the EXIT= parameter to force a zero completion code?

My bad. I missed the information that I am in a VSE environment and Server is a VM Server.

Are these commands supported in VSE/VM?

It says EXIT is an unidentified parameter.

// EXEC PROC=FTP
// EXEC FTP,PARM='IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,EXIT'
USER ID
PSWD
TCP/IP USER ID
TCP/IP PSWD
CD TEST
DELETE XXX.TXT
QUIT
