Use the NETRCLEVEL statement to specify how the FTP client searches the NETRC data set for FTP server hostnames. This statement applies only if you have defined a NETRC data set for the client to use.
Syntax
.-NETRCLEVEL 1------. >>-+-------------------+--------------------------------------->< '-NETRCLEVEL--+-1-+-' '-2-'
Parameters
- 1
- The FTP client searches the NETRC data set for the hostname as it was entered by the user: IP address or DNS name. If the client is running in batch mode, the client looks for the hostname in the NETRC data set only if a NETRC DD card is part of the batch job. This is the way the FTP client processed server hostnames up to and including release 320. This is the default.
- 2
- The FTP client searches the NETRC data set for the hostname as it was entered by the user if the user entered a DNS name, or an IP address that cannot be resolved to a DNS name. If the hostname is an IP address that resolves to a DNS name, the FTP client searches the NETRC data set for the DNS name. If the FTP client is running as a batch job and no NETRC DD card is included, the FTP client uses 'userid.NETRC' as the NETRC data set.
Examples
