FTP -- GET text file
as I discovered late last night, even though the file appears to be in the IFS, it is empty. There was a problem with the FTP commands I used to process that data. Even though it appeared to ftp successfully the file was empty. I am a rookie in working with the IFS. A non-iSeries person told me to do my ftp as 'GET inbound/returnfile/inb200700823.txt' and the IFS did not agree with that at all. As soon as I actually did a cd to each directory and then did my GET, the file then populated with data.
