You appear to consider that Lawrence is worried about setting the "source
IP" address but, in fact, he's concerned about performance and is interested
in which interface will support his *outbound* traffic.
Of course his preferred OSA interface may not always be working so it may be
advisable to set a static VIPA "source IP" address - using one of the
several mechanisms[1] of which you demonstrate one - for availability
reasons.

hi ,
as the subject, can I specify the OSA interface or source IP address
during FTPing from z/OS to the other FTP server ? The FTP client is
z/OS.
Thanks !

What version of z/OS are you running?
I can't remember what version it was introduced, but we are running z/OS
1.6 and under the TCPCONFIG paramemeters you can specifiy
SRCIP JOBNAME MYJOB* 10.1.1.1 ENDSRCIP
This will cause every job that starts with MYJOB to use the source IP
address of 10.1.1.1.
