Example: Checking the FTP output file for errors
While running at the scheduled time, FTP creates data in file member FTPLOG. The data in file member FTPLOG corresponds to original statements found in both examples. Check the output (FTPLOG) for errors that might have occurred during the FTP processing.
Here is an example of the output file:

You can either check visually or run a program that tests for error reply codes. Three-digit FTP error reply codes start with 4 or 5. Be careful to avoid messages, such as '467 bytes transferred...'.
Sample procedure: A sample REXX procedure and a sample physical file member are shipped as part of the TCP/IP product. File QATMPINC in library QTCP includes the following two members:
- BATCHFTP that contains REXX source code to specify the input and output batch files, and start FTP.
- BFTPFILE that contains the subcommands and data required for logon and running FTP.
