A REXX program is using QUEUE statements in an attempt to build JCL to FTP a dataset from a mainframe to a folder on a server. One of the statements reads as follows:

QUEUE "//STEP130 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='-w 1440 -x -r tls (EXIT' "

The parameters which are in lowercase such as -w , -x, etc. are being converted to uppercase. (Note: The SUBMIT is being performed within the REXX program).

Can someone provide an idea of how to prevent these parameters from being converted to upper case?

If you PULL these statements off the queue then use PARSE PULL to retain case asis.

Thanks for the responses. I asked this question for someone else who is attempting to do this and have asked him to let me know of the outcome.

I am not sure if they allow submitting jobs via the External Reader in this shop, but have presented that as an alternative should Nic's solution not give him the correct results.
