FTP a save file from one iSeries to another

["Richard Lambert" <rlambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to use FTP_GET() to pick up a save file from another iSeries.  When the file is retrieved, it has the PF-DTA attributes instead of the SAVF attributes.

 

Looking at the OpenFile() source (which is called by FTP_GET()) it calls ParsePath() which returns *SAVF.  This is then passed to GetFileAtr() which actually creates the file.  Unfortunately, the first thing GetFileAtr() does is clobber the SAVF attribute with "eval      peAttrib = *blanks". 

 

Do I need to modify the GetFileAtr() procedure or is there another way of retrieving save files from another iSeries?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

Cheers,
