FTP target file with date and time qualifier
Fri, 12/16/2011 - 06:12
I am trying to ftp a file from mainframe to wintel server, I am using a JCL to transfer the file.
The requirement is to have name of the target file unique each time transfer occurs, for this I plan to append the date and time as suffix to the file name, so that the file name generated each time is unique.
"; ; ; ;The following is the JCL that I am using.
//FTPSTEP EXEC PGM=FTP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD *
ip address
m/f user id
m/f password
put 'Source_file' Target.file.YYMMDD.HHMMSS
quit. /*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
Can someone help me in meeting the above requirement?

You can make use of symbol translator to create the target file name with date and time appended. For this
you first create the ftp input card using the symbol translator and then use the same ftp card in the
subsequent step to ftp the file.
//SYMBOLT EXEC PGM=EZACFSM1
//SYSIN DD *
put 'Source_file' Target.file.&LYYMMDD.&LHHMMSS
quit
/*
//SYSOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(,PASS),
// RECFM=FB,LRECL=80
//*
//FTPSTEP EXEC PGM=FTP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD *
ip address
m/f user id
m/f password
// DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)
/*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
