QUOTE RCMD longer than 80 characters

[bbardini]

I'm oh so familiar with those 'duh' moments. I've had many myself!

Bruce - This was one of my 'duh' moments. I was using an FTP script text file and hence the 80 character limit. I have since changed it over to a physical file and resolved the issue. Thanks for the response!

FTP RCMD Limits

Hello! I'm looking in the iSeries FTP manual, and I see this about the RCMD:

RCMD (Send a CL Command to an FTP Server System)
FTP Server Subcommand

Use the server subcommand RCMD to run iSeries control language (CL) commands on the FTP server
system. The length of the RCMD subcommand string is up to 1000 characters. Because no prompting is
available for the RCMD subcommand, the RCMD subcommand string must include all necessary
parameters to run the CL command.

So I don't think there's an 80 byte limit. Are you using some kind of tool to build and execute an FTP script? If so, it sounds like it's a limit of the tool.

Let me know if this is helpful at all.

Have you tried using RUNRMTCMD? It accepts a much longer command line.

I have a RSTOBJ command to run within an FTP QUOTE RCMD command which runs longer than 80 characters. Is there a resolution to this issue other than using a RUNRMTCMD?
