Hi,
I am trying to build parms to be used in a ftp step. I have a requirement to append the run date to the destination file name. Below is my sample code.
Code:
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL OUTREC=(C' ftp.abc.com',80:X,/,
C' FTP_userid',80:X,/,
C' ftp_pass',80:X,/,
C' PUT 'AAAAA.BBBBB.CCCCC' remotename_',DATE1,'.TXT',80:X,/,
C' LS -L',80:X,/,
C' QUIT',80:X)
The step is failing with a syntax error statement for the fourth record. Is there a way I can escape the single quote used in the mainframe file name?

Ram,
If you want enclose the dsn name in quotes you need an extra set of quotes. Use the following control cards
Code:
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL OUTREC=(C' FTP.ABC.COM',/,
C' FTP_USERID',/,
C' FTP_PASS',/,
C' PUT ''',C'AAAAA.BBBBB.CCCCC''',
C' REMOTENAME_',DATE1,C'.TXT',/,
C' LS -L',80:X,/,
C' QUIT',80:X)
//*
This will produce
Code:
FTP.ABC.COM
FTP_USERID
FTP_PASS
PUT 'AAAAA.BBBBB.CCCCC' REMOTENAME_20091007.TXT
LS -L
QUIT
