I am trying to run a batch file that does an FTP when I have to specify the recl, cyclinders, etc... I want to write the FTP process out to a log file. This works from a command prompt but it writes the contents of the batch file when run using the RUN JAL command.

This works:
c:\d:\ftp.bat > d:\ftp.log

Thanks

Jason

Try

cmd /C d:\ftp.bat > d:\ftp.log

This is basically the same question as in http://www.softtreetech.com/cgi_bin/config.cgi?read=6095
Output redirection is performed by the DOS command processor so you got to run them together.

I tried this and I still only log the contents of the bat file. I also tried running this same command as a program. I had found the article below earlier but I am not sure what I am doing differently now than what you described.

RUN ("cmd /C d:\ftp.bat > d:\ftp.log","",Process)

: Try

: cmd /C d:\ftp.bat > d:\ftp.log

In the batch file you can change the FTP line to something like

ftp [-s: parameter.file] > d:\ftp_log.log

Make sure you don't use -v switch with the command line FTP. This switch suppresses display of remote server responses.

I usually use ftp -n -s:script.ftp [host] as the most simply method and then in the script.ftp file
user
pwd
and the rest goes here

-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file

transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the

commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection
-A login as anonymous.
-w:buffersize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
host Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote

host to connect to.

tes:
- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.
