RE: Can't set FTP exit point

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion, Rich.  As it turns out, though, the original
issue was one of special authority.  You need *SECADM rights to register an
exit point.  As far as I can make out, the two different exit points deal
with different things.  The QTMF_CLIENT_REQ and QTMF_SERVER_REQ points allow
you to deal with every FTP request in a session.  The QTMF_SVR_LOGON points
allow you to specifically handle the FTP logon.  Once I had *SECADM I was
able to successfully register the exit point.

Now, however, I run into another issue.  My exit point writes to a file, and
I'm getting a CPF4104 error on that file when I run the exit point.  For
testing I granted *PUBLIC *ALL authority, and I still get the error.  Worse,
the error is "handled" by the FTP job and it simply terminates, without
giving me a chance to debug.  It doesn't even leave a joblog.  The only
place I see the error is in the QSYSOPR message queue.

Anybody run into this?
