Currently have following and is working great.



What I would like to do is add a sequence number at the end of the file being created on the serve. At the present, if a current file exist, the new file will replace it. I need to maintain all files.

Good idea. Sounds simple enough.

OK, sounds easy enough; then what is your suggestion?

Use a language of your choice, e.g.; Rexx, to generate the sysin with the appropriate file name.

Sounds good, but I believe there is a seq number command that can be used to increment and add to the end of the file name if a file already exist in the directory. I am unable to locate this again.

I thought it was something like UNIQ=0 or 1 depending on if you wanted to add sequence number or replace.

as per man pages

sunique Toggle storing of files on remote machine under unique file names. The remote FTP server
must support FTP protocol STOU command for successful completion. The remote server will
report unique name. Default value is off.

but You will have to run a few tests

just to get this correct in my mind, Shout the SUNIGUE=1 be after the PUT command or on the same line as the OUT command

why not run a few experiments Yourself and tell us ???
