I believe FTP by DD name applies to both GETs and PUTs but only to the client end. You cannot do a PUT to or a GET from a DD name (only the converse). OTOH, I believe it does use the DD allocation rather than re-allocating a clone.

DDNAME is available only for a PUT from a local client. And, dismayingly, I have empirical evidence that FTP server does not read from/write to the DDNAME in the put/get command. Rather it seems to ferret out the DSNAME or PATH from the TIOT (JFCB? whatever), and reallocate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
