200-: Chmod mode value invalid. Specify mode as a 1-3 digit octal value, or as {u|g|o|a}{=|+|-}{r|w|x|rw|rx|wx|rwx}. CHMOD ignored

Explanation

The SITE command was entered with the CHMOD parameter, but the mode operand of the CHMOD parameter was incorrect. The mode operand specifies the permission bit settings of the file, and should be expressed as either a 1-3 digit octal number (for example, 666 for permission setting rw-rw-rw-), or as a mnemonic indicating the changed bits, (for example a+x to turn on the execute bit for user, group, and other).

System action

The CHMOD parameter is ignored.

User response

Re-issue the SIte subcommand, specifying the correct value for the mode operand. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands, in the information about transferring data using the file transfer protocol for information about the parameters of the SIte subcommand.

System programmer response

None.
