Use
the MVSURLKEY statement to specify a token that users can enter as
part of an FTP URL to encode an MVS™ data
set name.
Syntax
>>-MVSURLKEY--key----------------------------------------------><
Parameters
- key
- An arbitrary token users can enter in an FTP URL to signify that
an MVS data set follows. Although
the FTP server accepts any value, avoid symbols FTP clients might
interpret as special characters or meta characters. For example, the
# character is acceptable to the FTP server, but some Web browsers
use the # character as a special character.
Examples
Use the following example to permit
users to enter MVSDS in an FTP URL in order to tell the FTP server
an MVS data set name follows:
MVSURLKEY MVSDS
; code this in FTP.DATA
Code the following as an
FTP URL to indicate that 'USER1.PROCLIB(FTPD)' is an MVS data set, not a z/OS® UNIX data
set:
ftp://user1@mvs098.tcp.raleigh.ibm/MVSDS/'user1.proclib(ftpd)';type=a
Usage notes
- The key specified for MVSURLKEY can be set to be the same key
used for the Websphere server to designate FTP URL encodings.
- The FTP server accepts an arbitrary string. Avoid characters the
FTP client might interpret as metacharacters or special characters.
