We get around this by using a copy step to copy SYSIN data to a UNIX file and then point to that file in the sftp step.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Steely Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 3:52 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: SFTP I would like to be able to specify STDIN on my SFTP batch job. The man pages has the following information: -b batchfile Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile instead of stdin. Because it lacks user interaction, use it in conjunction with noninteractive authentication. A batchfile of '-' can be used to indicate standard input. Here is what I tried: //SFTP2 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH, // PARM=('sh sftp -vvv -b - - // prod...@xxxxxxxx.xxxxcorp.com') //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDIN DD * pwd ls ascii lpwd lcd /tmp lpwd !cp "//'XXXXXX.SSPS.CSSMTP.TEST'" test2.txt put test2.txt !rm test2.txt // Sftp> That was the response in STDOUT. I would like STDIN to point to a dataset. Any help would be appreciated.
