Re: FTP GET to run IBM host job

2021-06-25

Revisiting this thread, I probably misunderstood the last post. The reason why the commands after the open command were not executed automatically is that there are spaces after the ^ sign.

EDIT: This answer is wrong, see the next post.
WinSCP cannot do that.
Though, cannot you just send the GET 'X1.LTZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)' command, the way you (probably) send the QUOTE SITE FILETYPE=JES?

Re: Possible to submit JCL with winSCP?

2020-01-08 21:26

I have tried to convert the ftp key word quote to use call in this script:

@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="D:\DATA\log\SendJCL.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
    "open ftpes://UID:PWD@my.mvs.com/" ^   
    "Call site filetype=jes" ^
    "put -transfer=Ascii d:\data\jcl\MyJOB.JCL" ^
    "exit"
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
  echo Success
) else (
  echo Error
)
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%

It stops after the open statement with a WinSCP command prompt
I then paste the call command at the prompt:

winscp>Call site filetype=jes ^

then paste the put command at the prompt:

winscp>put -transfer=Ascii d:\data\jcl\JOB.JCL" ^

and the job is submitted successfully
Can not figure out why it is not processing the entire script automatically.
Any help is appreciated.

I do not know anything about JES queue.
Can you just try and report your results?
There's a guide for converting ftp script to WinSCP script:

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your answer. What I meant was, if it's possible to put a (jcl) file on the JES queue on Z with WinSCP?

Regards,
Mike.

@Ijsbees: What "this"? Are you referring to the quote site filetype=jes?
For WinSCP, use call instead of quote:

https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_ftp_script_to_sftp#quote

Possible to submit JCL with winSCP?

2018-11-26 16:03

Hi,

I used submit JCL with FTP (example below). Is there any way to do this with winSCP?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike.

FTP example:

ftp

open servername  

user

password

quote site filetype=jes  

mdel *.*   

put c:\jcl.txt

ls  

disconnect  

quit

Not a good news, but thank you for your time

It won't work. WinSCP will always try to determine if the "name" is a file or a directory.

FTP GET to run IBM host job

2016-06-01 14:45

Hello
I need help on an unusual task to perform using WinSCP .NET library (version 5.7.7).
This is how it looks like from Windows commandline FTP client:

...

ftp> QUOTE SITE FILETYPE=JES

200 SITE command was accepted

ftp> GET 'X1.LTZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)'

200 Port request OK.

125-Submitting job 'X1.LTZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)' FIXrecfm 80

125 Unable to send X1.LTZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)

550 Transfer aborted

ftp>

In spite of the message "550 Trasfert aborted" it run some job on host and doesn't return any data.

I'm trying to move those commands on my new .NET exe based on WinSCP library.
It works fine until it has to execute:

TransferResult = mySessionBMP.GetFiles("'X1.LIZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)'", ".\FTPUCBesito" & Now().ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") & ".txt", False, myTransferOption)

it fails with the error:

  <group name="get  -nopermissions -nopreservetime -transfer=&quot;ascii&quot; -- &quot;/'X1.LIZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)'&quot; &quot;.\FTPUCBesito20160601114526.txt&quot;" start="2016-06-01T09:45:26.418Z">
    <failure>
      <message>Can't get attributes of file ''X1.LIZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)''.</message>
      <message>File or folder ''X1.LIZ.FT.JCL($FX983C0)'' does not exist.</message>
    </failure>
  </group>

Ok, I'm aware the file doesn't exists, it's a sort of virtual file. Just I'm looking for a way to tell WinSCP to try to get it without any check on remote file.
Is it possible? Any other idea to get that job done?

Thanks
