Hello list!!

We use a REXX to FTP files from the mainframe to another server by queuing the 
ftp commands and exiting the rexx, so, let's say we have the following REXX:
/* REXX */
QUEUE 'FTP 127.0.0.1'
QUEUE 'ANONYMOUS PASSWORD'
QUEUE 'help'
QUEUE 'quit'
exit 0

This used to work just fine but it recently stopped working on some systems, 
the queued commands are not executed under the FTP program, but only after the 
FTP program ends, the FTP program actually stops and stays waiting for an input 
on the USER:

EZA1450I IBM FTP CS V1R12
EZA1466I FTP: using xxxxxxxx
EZA1554I Connecting to:   127.0.0.1 port: 21.
220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R12 at xxxxxxxx, 12:59:50 on 2014-01-29.
220 Connection will close if idle for more than 300 minutes.
EZA1459I NAME (127.0.0.1:USERID):

*The execution actually stops there, if I keep going, pressing enter twice then 
manually entering QUIT, this is what is spit out:

EZA1701I >>> USER USERID
331 Send password please.
EZA1789I PASSWORD:
EZA1701I >>> PASS
530 PASS command failed
EZA1460I Command:
EZA1460I Command: QUIT

EZA1701I >>> QUIT
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
LANGUAGE PROCESSING COMMANDS:

ASM        INVOKE ASSEMBLER PROMPTER AND ASSEMBLER F COMPILER.
CALC       INVOKE ITF:PL/1 PROCESSOR FOR DESK CALCULATOR MODE.
COBOL      INVOKE COBOL PROMPTER AND ANS COBOL COMPILER.
FORT       INVOKE FORTRAN PROMPTER AND FORTRAN IV G1 COMPILER.
...
(--all the output of the TSO HELP command --)
...
IKJ56803I FOR MORE INFORMATION ENTER HELP COMMANDNAME OR HELP HELP
IKJ56500I COMMAND QUIT NOT FOUND
***



On the systems where this works, this is what I get:

EZA1450I IBM FTP CS V1R12
EZA1466I FTP: using xxxxxxxx
EZA1554I Connecting to:   127.0.0.1 port: 21.
220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R12 at xxxxxxxx, 17:56:53 on 2014-01-29.
220 Connection will close if idle for more than 300 minutes.
EZA1459I NAME (127.0.0.1: USERID):
EZA1701I >>> USER ANONYMOUS
331 Send password please.
EZA1701I >>> PASS
530 PASS command failed
EZA1460I Command:
EZA1576I User-FTP understands these commands:
EZA1577I !          ?         acct     append     ascii     auth      big5
...
(--all the output of the FTP HELP command --)
...
EZA1577I structure  sunique   system   tchinese   tso       type      ucs2

EZA1577I user       verbose
EZA1578I Specify a command by any unambiguous prefix
EZA1579I Specify a local data set by qualifier.qualifier... with optional
EZA1580I member as (member).  Enclose fully qualified names in quotes
EZA1581I For information about a particular command, say 'HELP command'
EZA1460I Command:
EZA1701I >>> QUIT
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.


The command works fine on BOTH systems under raw TSO and not ISPF, and yes, I 
am using a shared ISPF profile.

Can this great list help me figure this one out? :)

Thanks!
Leo
