RE: FTP transfer errors

[<vforbes@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know about the standard out & I have used it myself.  The vendor does the
RPG 'send one FTP cmd at a time' and does not always send error msgs to the
joblog.  

Also, we have incoming FTP via the job QTCPWRK.  These sometimes fail during
transmission.  Joblogs don't help.

I need to be able to see the error message(s) that caused the failure.  I.e.
Timeout, connection lost, etc.

Would exit points give more info?

FTP jobs have a "standard out" that can be captured in a .txt file.

Look in this stdout file to find out what is happening.

Hopefully, your external vendors have provided for stdout.
