Hi Steve - service.boulder.ibm.com is a valid address and is running FTP service. I was able to successfully connect and "ls" the /s390/holddata directory.
It would be helpful to see the full job output and even better if you include TRACE option, eg PARM='service.boulder.ibm.com (TRACE' My guess is that you've got some default FTP client settings which are not compatible with the server... See FTP.DATA configuration data set. The trace output will hopefully provide more clues.
