Don't I need XEDIT first? Is there an XEDIT for z/OS? XEDIT beats the
stuffing out of PDF edit as far as I'm concerned. Although I would be
mollified if PDF edit would enhance the FIND, RFIND, CHANGE, and RCHANGE
to include POSIX regular expressions.

If people here think that the REXX ftpapi mentioned by Gil is
insufficient, then maybe I will look at this. It's more like BPXWUNIX
calls than ADDRESS TSO, but it looked fairly nice to me. What I really
need is for the normal FTP client to do scripting. Something akin to:

put somefile
if ftprc <> 250 then do; transfer failed
   exit 16
done /* or od or fi or ??? */
