Thiru, Probably you've already had the answer to this since there are people attending to this thread who know much more about it than I do but I must have missed the post. I found this note in my private "to do" list which means I might be able to help failing other help.
I think the answer is in the two lines in your post: "No jobs found on Held queue", assuming this applies to output files, and "JESINTERFACELEVEL 1" In other words the JES output from your job needed to have a "held" output class in order that FTP can retrieve the output files. Also, checking your spool list, it may be that you haven't used a job name which contains the whole of your FTP userid. Do please read through section 4.13 of the "z/OS Communications Server IP User's Guide and Commands" manual. I was sure that there must be something in there about actually having to ensure that a "held" output class was used and I found it finally under "4.13.5 Steps for submitting a job and automatically receiving output" as "Additionally, the output class for any data sets you wish to retrieve (MSGCLASS or SYSOUT files) contained in your JCL must specify a JES HOLD output class." This applies only if JESINTERFACELEVEL=1. I guess I now have to sympathise. Probably at the time that JESINTERFACELEVEL was introduced, meaning the functions of JESINTERFACELEVEL=2 were added to the original functions, now specified with JESINTERFACELEVEL=1, the manual authors have added new text in order to explain JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 and 2 and have somehow lost the requirement that, with JESINTERFACELEVEL=1, a "held" output class was required. This is mentioned only in section 4.13.5 when you had every right to expect it to be seen in section "4.13.1 Steps for submitting a job". Of course, you can set JESINTERFACELEVEL=2 and then, assuming I have understood the manual, you will not need to use a "held" output class and neither will you need to use your userid in the job name. However, you will need to read the manual carefully in order to make that work since the advice you got from me - and others - applies to JESINTERFACELEVEL=1. Just to be sure I wasn't giving you any misleading advice, I have scanned through all of 4.13. I'm sure if you just follow the manual - with the addition of 1. Ensuring you use a "held" output class if you are using JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 - since the manual text has lost this in 4.13.1 2. Use "quote" before "site filetype=jes" and "site filetype=seq" - since the manual authors were too parochial - that is, only ever use CS IP as their client - to realise that "site" by itself may not be understood by every potential FTP client you will succeed. Please let us all know when you do succeed.

With all your inputs I had carried out to submit a PS dataset creation JCL from windows to mainframe and it worked. However, when I tried to issue the ls command I got the below messages ftp> ls 200 Port request OK. 125 Nlst started OK No jobs found on Held queue 250 Nlst completed successfully ftp: 29 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 29000.00Kbytes/sec. But the spool contains the below jobs and I had logged with user id THIRU THIRRES JOB01131 THIRU 1 PRINT A 506 THIRMQAA JOB01132 THIRU 1 PRINT A 507 THIRMQAA JOB01134 THIRU 1 PRINT A 508 THIRRES JOB01133 THIRU 1 PRINT A 509 THIRTESB JOB01140 THIRU 1 PRINT A 510 THIRTESB JOB01141 THIRU 1 PRINT A 511 THIRTESB JOB01151 THIRU 1 PRINT A 512 Hence I couldn't able to retrieve the output(log) back to windows. So is there any parameter that has to be altered/added to the FTPDATA? The below is my FTPDATA's Jes interface options JESLRECL 80 JESPUTGETTO 600 JESRECFM F JESINTERFACELEVEL 1 JESENTRYLIMIT 200 Kindly Advice me on this issue -thiru ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
