Submitting a batch job with concatenated files

Figure 1. Submitting an FTP batch job with concatenated input

     //USERIDX  JOB USERID,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=USERID,MSGCLASS=H,TIME=9
     //FTP   EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=4096K
     //SYSFTPD DD DSN=SYS1.TCPPARMS(FTPCDATA),DISP=SHR
     //        DD *  see NOTE 1
     SEQNUMSUPPORT TRUE
     DEBUG BAS
     //INPUT DD DSN=FTP.SUBCMDS(LOGIN),DISP=SHR      
     //      DD DSN=FTP.SUBCMDS(FTPINFO),DISP=SHR    
     //      DD DSN=FTP.SUBCMDS(FTPCMDS1),DISP=SHR   
     //      DD DSN=FTP.SUBCMDS(FTPCMDS2),DISP=SHR

Tips:

Additional FTP parameters can be concatenated to the FTP.DATA file. This technique is useful when you need additional debugging information and you do not want to change the source FTP data file or FTP command input.
Multiple data sets can be concatenated as input as long as you follow MVS™ JCL concatenation guidelines. See z/OS MVS JCL Reference for additional information. If concatenated files contain both sequenced and unsequenced input command files, each file must have a semicolon (;) in the first data column. See FTP.DATA statement SEQNUMSUPPORT information in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for additional information.
