Re: wc3270 or NOTEPAD++ help
A common paranoia is to not enable the mainframe side ftp server. And, the native Windows ftp client does not do encryption. On the issue of multiple files to transfer, Sri has provided a good way that should work on any level of Windows to consolidate the file(s) into one stream. If we assume Windows 10, then there are several other 'nix variations for consolidation. And, eventually having an IEBUPDTE processable file on the mainframe seems a good idea. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On > Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin > Sent: Friday, February 12, 2021 12:10 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: wc3270 or NOTEPAD++ help > > On Fri, 12 Feb 2021 19:59:09 +, Michael Brennan wrote: > > >Just use native FTP from your PC to your mainframe. > > > He says he has *only* "wc3270 or NOTEPAD++". > > > > >From: Binyamin Dissen > >Sent: Friday, February 12, 2021 8:46 AM > >... > >I am trying to upload source files from a windows machine with only the > above > >programs. ... > > -- gil > > -- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: wc3270 or NOTEPAD++ help
Just use native FTP from your PC to your mainframe. Put the files all in the same directory on your PC. 1. Open a Command Prompt on your PC. 2. CD 'prefix' - where your prefix is high level Qualifier under which the transferred files are located. 3. ftp 'Hostname' - where 'Hostname' is DNS or IP address of your z/OS system. 4. Enter this command: binonly if these are binary files. If they are text files then skip this step. 5. Enter this command to suppress the prompts asking you to confirm that the high-level qualifier for each installation file to be uploaded matches prefix: prompt off 6: Enter this command to specify the default dataset characteristics: quote site recfm=fb lrecl=80 blksize=3120 cyl pri=1 sec=1 - adjust these parms for your data. 7: Issue command: mput * - This will send every file in the directory of 'prefix' to your host.You can also do partial wildcards like if all the files begin with jjs. then mput jjs.* From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of Binyamin Dissen Sent: Friday, February 12, 2021 8:46 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: wc3270 or NOTEPAD++ help [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization.

Binyamin Dissen, Why not use the good old DOS commands in batch to combine all the text files into a single with header of the file name? 1. Save the following as combtxt.bat in the same directory as your text files del combined.txt for %%I in (*.txt) do ( echo %%~fI >> combined.tmp type "%%I" >> combined.tmp echo. >> combined.tmp ) ren combined.tmp combined.txt 2. Open DOS prompt and CD to the directory of your text file and issue the command comtxt.bat and all your .txt files will be combined into a single file with the header record of the file path. 3. Now FTP/send the combined.txt file to your mainframe Thanks, Kolusu -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
