Parameters

HOME
If the client is running in the z/OS® UNIX shell, the hlq is the current path and the name of the checkpoint file is current_path/ftp.chkpoint. Otherwise, the hlq is the TSO prefix and the checkpoint data set is named tso_prefix.FTP.CHKPOINT.

This is the default.

USERID
Use the user ID associated with the address space where the FTP command is issued as the hlq for the checkpoint data set. The name of the data set is userID.FTP.CHKPOINT.
LOCAL
Use the local working directory (local_dir) as set by the lcd subcommand. If the directory is a z/OS UNIX directory, the checkpoint file is local_dir/ftp.chkpoint. If the directory is a partitioned data set, the checkpoint data set name is local_dir(CHKPOINT). Otherwise, the checkpoint data set is local_dir.FTP.CHKPOIN'.

Examples

To use the user ID, use the following code:

CHKPTPREFIX  USERID
