You may also do this from MPE CI by

:NEWLINK /etc/inetd.conf , /SYS/NET/INETDCNF
:NEWLINK /etc/bootptab , /SYS/NET/BOOTPTAB

Notice the different order of arguments between
NEWLINK and ln, though (well, to me the NEWLINK
seems more intuitive but that's surely a matter
of taste). [...]48_26Feb199723:24:[log in to unmask]

JCL stands for Job Control Language and is basically the MPE operating
system commands and some flow control (IF/THEN/ELSE) functions. It is
used to write batch job scripts, online User Defined Commands (UDC's)
and Command Files (under MPE/iX).

Hope this helps.

Stephen,

You can combine the variables HPYEAR, HPMONTH and HPDATE (not HPDAY):


SETVAR YY !HPYEAR
IF LEN("!HPMONTH") < 2 THEN
    SETVAR MM "0" + "!HPMONTH"
ELSE
    SETVAR MM "!HPMONTH"
ENDIF
IF LEN("!HPDATE") < 2 THEN
    SETVAR DD "0" + "!HPDATE"
ELSE
    SETVAR DD "!HPDATE"
ENDIF
SETVAR FILENAME "A" + "!YY" + "!MM" + "!DD"
SHOWVAR FILENAME

You can then ECHO the variable FILENAME into one line of an input file to FTP:

ECHO open>FTPIN
ECHO more commands >>FTPIN
ECHO get !FILENAME >>FTPIN
ECHO exit >>FTPIN

Then:

RUN FTP.ARPA.SYS<FTPIN

We do this sort of thing all the time.

I'll be happy to help you if you call me.
