Re: Is the installer broken?

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,

"crtl" and "crts" are shortcuts for crtlib & crtsrcpf respectively.  
These are built-in to the IBM i FTP server, and should work fine.

As far as I can tell, the problem you're experiencing is that your FTP 
session is using "namefmt 1", whereas the script was designed for 
"namefmt 0".   You'll notice that the very first line of the script is 
attempting to switch to "namefmt 0", but perhaps it is failing?

It's probably failing because the FTP session starts you out in an the 
user's home directory or some other IFS directory that's not accessible 
when using "library" naming.  Maybe the fix would be to have the script 
do something like this:
"namefmt 1", "cd /qsys.lib/qgpl.lib", "namefmt 0"

That way, it'll set your current dir to QGPL (which is a valid library) 
before switching to namefmt 0.   I actually thought it already does 
this?  But, I may be thinking of a different script.

Thoughts?
