FTP IBDEL DRIVERCTL question

[Chad Flodman]

I’ve stuggled quite a while getting the FTP processing to work as I wanted in cloverleaf.  Using TCL I have prevented the deletion of a file and am able to rename the outbound file for an outbound FTP protocol thread.  It’s just this last piece of attempting to remane a file.

Inbound FTP protocol thread:

Since the filename you process is sent on to the IBDEL TPS as a message after a directory parse and then a DELE is sent to the FTP server by the driver is there any way using metadata / driverctl to RENAME the file instead of deleting it?  (i.e. rename from file.dat to file09062006.txt while leaving the file untouched on the remote server except having been read and renamed.)

Any help really appreciated….

OK, I’ve found a way around this.  Wasn’t the cleanest solution, but it’s working.  FTP of X12 data, thus the USERDATA field was being used by the X12 ISA data.  Used DRIVERCTL to store the OBFILE name and a TCL from the DELETE TPS to do the rename.
