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.

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.
