FTP to AS/400 triggered file

Turning the trigger off or FTP'ing to another file and then RPG DELETing and WRITEing or SQL INSERTing re the only options obvious to me. Ralph

I cam across such a problem 4 months back. My requirement was remote system A will FTP a file to my AS400 system ( say B). After successful FTP a program should fire in B. I wrote an after insert trigger program on my file. I also came across the fact that trigger would go at every row as an FTP is a full delete followed by a row by row insert. I used counters to prevent trigger from firing until the end. All these efforts went a vain coz trigger on the file on system B will not allow ftp from SYSTEM A. My colleague here who works extensively on NT did this job on NT machine in just 2 hours. For as400 , I could gather that I had to write exit programs for FTP which we here have never done before. Finally as a solution , we did the fol... SYSTEM A will ftp the file to my as400 system B.After successful ftp , system A will send me a message thru socket programs in C. We have a home grown MQ Series like software for this. On receipt of the message, my as400 program will start reading the new file. Obviously , I did not give u all any suggestions but the vainless efforts I put during those days, I could not resist to share. Santosh.

Have you checked the libl of the user profile that you are using in the FTP? Most likely you have done that already, but I thought that I would ask. Bryan

The problem is simple... If u ftp a file from remote system to AS400 and the AS400 file has a trigger, it will not allow ftp. If u remove the trigger from as400 file and now ftp "put" from remote system , it lets u write the file. Alll other things remain the same i.e... file type ,file name , authority, user profile, libl list etc etc... Is there a way to ftp in such a condition ?????It will be a great help to me if the ans is YES.

What i am missing here? I have a .bat file which executes an FTP to 2 files. One has numerous records, the other has one record and goes to a triggered file to execute a process The "PUT" to the trigger file gets the following error: 426-Cannot write to member (membername) in file (filename) in library (libraryname) If i remove the trigger on the file, the one record transfers successfully. The .bat file is simply: an open, username, password, ASCII, CD libraryname, put statement 1, put statement 2, quit

I assume you want the AS/400 to do something once the data arrives. Have you thought about using ftp to send the desired command string to the AS/400 after the put statement. I think the command is QUOTE RUNCMD or something like that.
