We still have many cd commands to issue. One mput per is a good idea, assuming that there are no errors that abort the transfers. One put per member facilitates restart. Besides, the HELP for MPUT says that pattern matching only works for a foreignhost that is z/VM. In my case, it will be z/OS..

Is there any way to coax FTP to read a file for its subcommands? I see nothing in the syntax that performs the same function as the Windows switch -s:fileid. Is it really necessary to stack all of the subcommands before issuing the FTP command? Regards, Richard Schuh
