How do we use symbolics in FTP parm card. I tried, its giving me FTP error local file not found. Please help with an alternative or corrective solution to use symbolics.

Code:

//JOBCARD
//*                         
//    SET TRAM='X1203'
//*
//STEP100 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='/(EXIT TI 600',REGION=1100K     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//OUTPUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//INPUT    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM
//*   



File :XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM

Code:

directory name
Password                                                   
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\TEST                           
   CD \TAXREPORT\2011\02\26\TRAC\TEST1\TEST2               
PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt   
DIR                                                         
QUIT       





Code:
EZA1736I  PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt
EZA1685W Invalid local file identifier                               
EZA1735I Std Return Code = 27000, Error Code = 00018                 
EZA1701I >>> QUIT

JCL symbolics have to be used IN THE JCL:

Code:

//JOBCARD
//*                         
//    SET TRAM='X1203'
//*
//STEP100 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='/(EXIT TI 600',REGION=1100K     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//OUTPUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//INPUT    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM
//NETRC    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.NETRC
//FTPDSN   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM
//*



File :XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM

Code:
                                                 
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\TEST

Thanks, Superk. If I have more than one directory name and the files then how will I use this.

For eg.,

Code:
directory name
Password                                                   
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\\02\26\TEST                           
CD \TAXREPORT\2011\02\26\TEST\TEST-01               
PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt   
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\02\26TEST1                           
CD \TAXREPORT\2011\02\26\TEST1\TEST-01               
PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST3.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt   
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\02\26TEST2                           
CD \TAXREPORT\2011\02\26\TEST2\TEST-01               
PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST1.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt   
MKDIR \FFFFFFFF\2011\02\26TEST2                           
CD \TAXREPORT\2011\02\26\TEST2\TEST-01               
PUT 'VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST2.&TRAM' TEST_02.txt   
DIR                                                         
QUIT

You can create as many different DD names, associated with as many different datasets, as you want to, obviously within the limitations of JCL.

If that won't work, then you'll have to pass the JCL symbolic through a program as a parameter (,PARM='&TRAM') to have it resolved properly into its actual value. Then, you'll have to use the output of that program within your FTP control cards.

Thanks, Superk. I require a final clarification. Please update me whether you are mentioning like the one below.

Code:
//STEP100 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='/(EXIT TI 600',REGION=1100K     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//OUTPUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//INPUT1    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM
//INPUT2    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM1 -(for different directory)
//INPUT3    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM2
//INPUT4    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM3
//NETRC    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.NETRC
//FTPDSN1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM
//FTPDSN2   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST1.&TRAM
//FTPDSN3   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST2.&TRAM
//FTPDSN4   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST3.&TRAM -for different file
//*

Sigh.

Radhakrishnan, you can't just make things up. For the FTP program, there are the two required DD's, INPUT (or SYSIN) and OUTPUT (or SYSOUT). There are the optional DD's (SYSPRINT, NETRC and FTPDATA), and then there are the user-defined DD's.

I really hope that you meant to post this:

Code:

//STEP100 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='/(EXIT TI 600',REGION=1100K     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//OUTPUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//INPUT    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM1
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM2
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.YYYYYY.ZZZZZZ.PARM3
//NETRC    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.NETRC
//<somedd1> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST.&TRAM
//<somedd2> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST1.&TRAM
//<somedd3> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST2.&TRAM
//<somedd4> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VVVVV.REPORT.YYYYYYY.TEST3.&TRAM
//*
