I wish TRSMAIN provided a consistency check to insure a complete tersed data set has been processed. I have had situations where the tersed data set was not complete, and TRSMAIN gave a CC=0. Or, I forgot to transmit the tersed data set in binary format. TRSMAIN attempted to unterse the data set, and the only indication of a problem was "undefined" RECFM, which was caused by the bad data in the RECFM descriptor location.
And last but not least, z/OS FTP's processing of concatenated data sets. If any data set in the concatenation is empty, FTP stops and gives a CC=0. Both of these situations has made me do a lot more desk checking, comparing what was sent vs. what was received. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Brennan Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2017 3:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SFTP issue LOL at myself. As I watched this thread I couldn't help but think about checksums, line counters, and things like that. I totally missed the obvious /* or your equivalent. Then again, I'd really expect *something* from SFTP that could be checked on the client side for a transmission error - at the very least, the absence of a completion message.
