The way that I have resorted to handling
this is to do a CHDIR in a CL wrapper that calls the program using FTPAPI.
If there is another way to do it, I'd love to know it so I can incorporate
it.

Changing Local Directory
Hello all.
I am working on some programs that will use FTPAPI. I've looked at
some of the sample programs and I am not 100% sure of how to handle changing
the local directory on the iSeries that I want to receive files in to.
I believe the default is to put the files in to the IFS. I
see there is a NAMEFMT command, so I think maybe I should use that, but
I wanted to ask.
On a related note, my practice in the past has been to pull the files from
the remote server in to the DB2 side of the iSeries, since the data is
typically text only and many times is coming from another iSeries. Would
I be better off to pull the file to the IFS?
