Parameters

seconds
Specifies the interval in seconds between progress report messages generated in the FTP client during an inbound or outbound file transfer. Valid values are in the range 10 - 86400, or 0. A value of 0 turns progress reporting off in the FTP client. The default value is 10 seconds. Messages EZA2509I and EZA1485I are generated as part of progress reporting. These messages are generated automatically at 10-second intervals by the FTP client in releases prior to V1R6. Beginning in V1R6, the default behavior is the same as in prior releases, but the length of the interval and whether to generate the messages can be configured by using the PROGRESS parameter setting on the locsite subcommand or by specifying the PROGRESS statement in FTP.DATA.

Examples

To set the progress reporting interval to 30 seconds, use the following code:
PROGRESS  30
