Re: FTP file naming issue

Hi Tim,

In your FTP script use:     ls (disk

This will create a file in your Current Library called LSOUTPUT that will 
give you a listing of all the files in the directory you are looking at.

I have created processes using this for our EDI transactions, sending and 
receiving, that run automatically all day long.

HTH.




Thanx,

Nick

FTP file naming issue






I'm trying to automate a process that retrieves a file via FTP from a 
vendor
that is named using a date/time stamp.  In other words, the file name will
dynamically change each time it is created.  Can I rename this file on
either end somehow?  If I use GET I must know the file name to begin with.
If I use MGET with a wild card, I can get the file, but I can't specify 
the
destination name, so now I have a file in my IFS but I don't know the 
name.
It appears RENAME does not support wildcards, etc.  Is anyone doing
something similar?  Thanks, Tim
