I just started using FTPAPI for a project. The project itself is still in the QC phase, but I have had no problems with it. The reason I implemented it was the need to rename the downloaded files on the fly (that's much easier accomplished in an RPG program than in CL). I think that the main reason to use FTPAPI is error handling. Unless you write your own error-handling routine to process the overridden OUTPUT log file, there is no such thing using the FTP command in CL. I have my application set up to page the on-call programmer if the number of files downloaded is less than the number of files on the remote server (among other errors), for example. Scott includes a bunch of samples to help you get started, and from there it was pretty easy. Francis Lapeyre IS Dept. Programmer/Analyst Stewart Enterprises, Inc.
