Scottt, 
Even though I took the 'hard way' I learned the 'extra' value of the copy book (was already in the pgm), and your
reply is a great re-enforcement.
A review this afternoon of FTPAPI with my boss has led to plans for replacing most or all of our current
FTP command and programs.
Thanks!

Hi Gary,

Since "wise cracks" are gratefully accepted (according to your message) I'll reply with those, haha.

Yes, FTPAPI cannot change the way the RPG language works.  :-)   You 
have to specify all parameters prior to the peTimeout.

No.  I define this stuff in the FTPAPI_H copy book so that the same definitions can be used by everyone.  For you to define your own in your pgm is not good.

Just do /COPY FTPAPI_H  (or /INCLUDE FTPAPI_H) so that you have the definitions for FTP_PORT as well as all of the other stuff (like FTP_conn, FTP_get, FTP_put, etc)
