Hello

I need to create a sort card where in my input files are having data like below.

sftp> ls -1
file1.zip
file2.zip
sftp> QUIT

I want the output file to contain as many as GET command as the number of zip files are present input file. Provided output file should look like as below-

Get file1.zip /path1
Get file2.zip /path2

Now if the input file contain 3 files the number of GET command sould be 3.

Use INCLUDE with SS to do a substring search for .zip.

The you can use a literal for the Get, and whatever magic you need for the /path.

I doubt that ftp will mind about any trailing blanks, but if you want it to look neater you can give it a bit of a SQZ afterwards.

For the path actually i would like to see them as below over unix mainframe.

Get file1.zip /path/file1.zip
Get file2.zip /path/file2.zip

Hello,

If the output path is constant, just insert it as a literal when writing your output.

You'll need to know the maximum lengths of the fielname and pathname. You will then have to SQZ to make a valid filename including the path.
