Re: Any Idea in FTS
When I first saw the reference to FTS, I thought it referred to an old
communication method I used to transfer files between S/36s back in the
90's - File Transfer Support. (FTS)
This is a note I have from an IBM document. (I think I may have too much
old stuff on my laptop).
E.1 File Transfer Support Overview
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
° Copyright IBM Corp. 1992
Using FTS, a user application program can send or retrieve database
file
members between one AS/400 system and another AS/400 system, send
database
file members to System/36, and retrieve files and library members from
System/36. System/36 Release 5.1 with preventive PTF-DK3700 is
required
to communicate with System/36. FTS does not support the sending and
retrieving of database file members between an AS/400 system and a
System/38.
