In your FTP.DATA file, you can use the CCXLATE or XLATE statements
to specify a name that corresponds to a particular data set that is
to be used for the initial translate tables for the control or data
connections.
Rules: - CCXLATE is ignored if EXTENSIONS UTF-8 or CTRLCONN is coded in
FTP.DATA.
- XLATE is ignored if SBDATACONN is coded in FTP.DATA.
FTP searches for an environment variable defined as _FTPXLATE_
name=
fully_qualified_dsn with
the following specifications:
- name
- The XLATE or CCXLATE parameter value you coded in FTP.DATA. You
can code 1 to 8 alphabetic or numeric characters.
- fully_qualified_dsn
- A fully qualified MVS™ data
set name or z/OS® UNIX file name.
Requirements: - You must use uppercase letters for the name value
of the _FTPXLATE_name environment variable.
- The name value must follow the rules for an MVS data set qualifier if you do
not define the _FTPXLATE_name environment variable.
FTP identifies the data set corresponding to the
name value:
- If the environment variable is defined, FTP uses the data set
name that is defined by the environment variable.
- If the environment variable is not defined, FTP uses the data
set name hlq.name.TCPXLBIN.
You can also issue the SITE XLATE= command from any client to set
the translate tables for the data connection for that particular FTP
session. The FTP server searches for an environment variable called
_FTPXLATE_name and uses the data set name that
_FTPXLATE_name defines. If the _FTPXLATE_name environment
variable does not exist, the server searches for a data set called hlq.name.TCPXLBIN.
