Ah! Much easier question to answer
//PS001 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//STDIN DD PATH='/dev/null',
// PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY)
//STDPARM DD *
SH filename=$(date +'%y%m%d_%H%M') \
echo <<EOF \
userid \
password \
put 'INPUT.DATASET.NAME' ${filename}.txt \
EOF | ftp server_name

The above shows how to ftp a specific z/OS sequential dataset whose
name is INPUT.DATASET.NAME into a file on the server whose file name
is of the form <yy><mm><dd>_<hh><mm>.txt where the things in <> marks
are the date and time when the step runs.
You can do something equivalent in REXX too. But it takes two steps.
And the REXX program must reside in a PDS, not be "in stream". It
would create an output DSN which you could then concatenate into the
//INPUT DD statement of the FTP step later in the job.
But I need to get ready to leave for a couple of hours, so I won't try
to fake up the REXX program.
