RESTGET (FTP client) statement
Use the RESTGET statement to specify whether the FTP client should open the checkpoint data set for a GET request.
Syntax
.-RESTGET TRUE-------. >>-+--------------------+-------------------------------------->< '-RESTGET--+-TRUE--+-' '-FALSE-'
Parameters
- TRUE
- Specifies that the checkpoint data set is opened for a GET request. This is the default.
- FALSE
- Specifies that the checkpoint data set is not opened for a GET request.
Examples
RESTGET FALSE ; do not open the checkpoint data setUsage notes
The FTP client opens the checkpoint
data set for a GET or MGET request when the following conditions are
met:
- The data type is EBCDIC
- The file type is SEQ
- The transmission mode is either block or compressed
- The UNIXFILETYPE value is FILE when the local file is a z/OS® UNIX file
Guideline: Use RESTGET FALSE to prevent the open of the data set. If the data set is not opened, a failed data transfer in block or compressed mode cannot be restarted.
