Friedrich,

You have to escape the embedded > and >>. Add a leading bang (!).

Replace

!ECHO :print ftpbuy1 > ftpXFER >> FTPLIST
!ECHO :print ftpbuy1 >> ftpXFER >> FTPLIST

With

!ECHO :print ftpbuy1 !> ftpXFER >> FTPLIST
!ECHO :print ftpbuy1 !>> ftpXFER >> FTPLIST

Subject: [HP3000-L] Redirect commands

Hi
does anyone know how to overcomes this:
I want to gather information on files in different subdirectories, which
have to be retrieved via FTP.

I would like to get all of their names first into msg file.
I tried something like below, but
!ECHO :print ftpbuy1 > ftpXFER >> FTPLIST turn out to be a problem in
the job, if done manually (without redirection it works).

any idea how to use several rederictions in one commandling.

thankx
friedrich
