Hi, Kevin,
If you are just invoking the built-in IBM_i FTP client in batch, then it just reads from a "script" of input commands, and tries to execute them, one after another. It does not know or care if errors occur.
To really handle such situations properly, you should consider using a tool like Scott Klement's excellent LIBFTP (aka. FTPAPI ...). See:
http://www.scottklement.com/ftpapi/
for details. It comes with lots of "sample" programs to illustrate its uses. It was custom-designed to allow you to handle just such situations.
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

Midrange Fans,
I've been noticing an occasional problem with batch FTPs where I work. If
any errors are encountered, the client seems to ignore them and continue to
process the reset of the commands in the INPUT file member, then exits
gracefully. So even if a batch FTP fails, the batch job itself ends
successfully. Is there any way to set the FTP command to stop with an
escape message if it encounters an error?
