Using FTPAPI to ftp to a printerfile

["Lammerts, Jack" <j.lammerts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Scott,


   Sorry, should have included the relevant code in the first place.


   This is the test code I use, shamelessly copied and adapted from one
   of your

   supplied testprograms:


   * put the IFS PCL printerfile to a *USERASCII printerfile



   c                   eval      from =
   '/tmp/test.pcl'

   c                   eval      to   =
   '/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/ftpprint.file'



   c                   callp     FTP_NamFmt(sess:
   1)

   c                   callp     ftp_binaryMode(sess:
   *on)



   c                   if        ftp_put(sess: from: to) <
   0

   c                   eval      Msg =
   ftp_errorMsg(sess)

   c                   dsply
   Msg

   c
   endif


   The error ocuurs at the ftp_put operation.


   Thnx in advance, Jack

   Hi Jack,


   Please tell us how to create the same error for ourselves.  That will
   help us to understand.
