Can Somebody Provide me the FTPS JCL and PROC

[Nits1212]

Dear All,

Please provide me the information on FTPS solution. I want to transfer the file by using FTPS. Is it also possible to change the file name(or File Move from one folder to another folder) by using FTPS job?
Please suggest,

Regards,
Nits

Hi,

I am planning to use FTPS for file transfer from mainframe to SAG EMEA and vice versa. As i came to know is, You shoule always have a fixed input file name. But in my case, input file name contains timestamp on SAG EMEA. so every time when i need to transfer file from SAG EMEA to mainframe, i will have different input file name. can you have any suggestion on, How the file transfer will be possible in this case? before doing file transfer, how can i change the file name? can i execute some job on mainframe which can change the required file name at SAG EMEA and then i can transfer the file? plz suggest.

Awaiting for your input.

Thanks,
Nits

use a COBOL program (or other language if you prefer) to create the input file to the FTP step.
This file can contain the originating dataset and the destination dataset which you can define as having a timestamp added to it.


For the job itself, its a standard FTP job, and you should look at other existing jobs on your company to see how they do it.

If there is NONE, then look at the manuals for TCP/IP in the mainframe area of IBM for examples and description of required DD names.

Just 6 weeks ago I completed a project for a client that did exactly that: Created a file with the date built into the name and set it up to FTP to a third party. The COBOL program that creates the file also creates an intermediate .BAT file to start the FTP process with the date-stamped file name. If you would like samples of COBOL code, I could send some to you.

Dear Webrabbit,

I will appreciate your assistance in this regard, plz do send so that i can refer it and take some input if possible.

Awaiting for your sample program.

Thank you very much Webrabbit, but i am unable to understand file coding, in which language it is? I understood the program.

Please let me know if possible.

Thanks,
Nits

The COBOL program is of course in COBOL; the .BAT files are MS/PC DOS Batch files; the .FTP is a series of FTP commands.

If you are working on an IBM mainframe, you can use the Internal Reader of JES to submit a job-stream with generated file names. I havn't worked on a mainframe for over ten years, so I can't provide you with much help there. I noticed another thread asking for mainframe FTP JCL, you might look there.
