Re: FTP Trainee

I have vague memory of some 400 command that creates source 
code needed for some physical object.  I think we have used 
it on configuration objects, to setup something the same way 
as something else.

That was RTVCFGSRC.  We have it in our backup CL.  Has nothing to do with 
DDS. 

Ok, so you do DDS a lot when working with BPCS.  Who doesn't?  That 
doesn't preclude you from using iNav's tool to retrieve the SQL definition 
of a file.  So you have one file that is created with SQL.  No big deal.

However, I think you may be barking up the wrong tree.  If the other 
machine is an iSeries I strongly recommend against using direct PF 
transfer with FTP.  I strongly recommend saving it into a save file, 
sending that in BINary method, making sure the save file exists on the 
remote system first (or the PUT makes it a PF and not a SAVF), ... oh 
here's the script

quote rcmd crtsavf mylib/mysavf
quote rcmd clrsavf mylib/mysavf
bin
put homelib/mysavf mylib/mysavf
quote rcmd rstobj myobj mylib dev(*savf) savf(mylib/mysavf)
quit

I put the extra CLRSAVF in there in case the save file existed prior to 
the CRTSAVF to avoid the "Hey, do you want to clobber the data?" message.
