ISPFSTATS (FTP client and server) statement

Use the ISPFSTATS statement to allow FTP to create and maintain statistics for partitioned data set members. You can also use the SIte and LOCSIte subcommands to set this keyword.

Server: This setting applies when creating or updating data sets on the server's system.
Client: This setting applies when creating or updating data sets on the client's system.

Syntax


   .-ISPFSTATS FALSE------.   
>>-+----------------------+------------------------------------><
   '-ISPFSTATS--+-TRUE--+-'   
                '-FALSE-'

Parameters

FALSE: FTP does not create statistics if the file does not already exist or does exist but does not have statistics. If the file already exists and contains statistics, FTP updates the statistics and sends the reply indicating the behavior.
TRUE: FTP creates or updates the statistics.

Examples

FTP creates the statistics:

ISPFSTATS TRUE

Usage notes

The ISPFSTATS statement is ignored for sequential data sets; it applies to PDS and PDSE data sets. The record format must be either variable or fixed, and the record length must be less than 256.
Transferring PDS member to PDS member in block mode or in compress mode differs in behavior from transferring in stream mode. If the user wants to preserve the statistics of the PDS member that already has statistics, and have the same statistics copied over to targeted PDS member, transferring in block mode or in compress mode is preferred.
