RE: scheduled job to run every n minutes?

["Glenn Gundermann" <ggundermann@xxxxxx>]

Hi Jonathan,

Have you ever had an error with the FTP?
I get an error on the SNDDST command because it was missing the
distribution description and document description.

This is what I ended up with.

SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET((ggundermann@xxxxxx)) DSTD('Something') +
   LONGMSG('Test Message to myself') DOCD(*DSTD)

Glenn Gundermann
ggundermann@xxxxxx
(647) 272-3295
