FTP Script

can you post your script? How are you executing it from the 4GL program? Are you seeing any errors? Thank you.

Batch File... FTP -v -i -s:bankpaymentout.txt > bankftpout.log @echo FTP -s:bankpaymentout.txt > bankftpout.log mv /linte/work/out/bank/*.txt /linte/work/out/bank/ARCHIVE/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FTP Script... open rdc101a lawsonftp XXXXXX lcd /linte/work/out/bank cd /bank/prdfiles/HB/REFUND/RECEIVE ls mput *.txt bye --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4Gl Code.... INITIALIZE WS-COMMAND. STRING CRT-MESSAGE DELIMITED " " , WS-SCRIPT-NAME INTO WS-COMMAND. DISPLAY " WS COMMAND..." WS-COMMAND. CALL "system" USING WS-COMMAND GIVING WS-RETURN-PRM. [code] [/code]

In the past I've had difficulty getting scripts to run from 4gl, mostly stemming from permissions. The question here is, what user is the 4gl running the script as. Sometimes you can circumvent this by wrapping your script in a runas or something similar. I'd start there, and see if 4gl is able to see/execute the ftp command for starters by having it run a script that just does ftp -version, for example. You can try something besides FTP as well. We've had success with perl/email, I can send you a script if you contact me via email: phil at redthree.com

It only fails (skips) ftp part. But other portion on batch file doe swork. Like copying file etc.,
