Troubleshooting
Problem
When using the z/OS FTP client, an EZYFT47I message is issued for one (or more) lines in the FTP.DATA input. Even though these messages are issued, the processing continues normally.
Symptom
EZYFT47I ffffffff file, line nn: Ignoring keyword "kkkkkkkk"
Cause
This message is issued when a statement (or option on that statement) is found in the FTP.DATA input being processed that is not relevant to the current environment:
- When issued by the FTP client, it is for a statement valid only for the FTP server.
- When issued by the FTP server, it is for a statement valid only for the FTP client. In this case, the EZYFT47I message will appear in the SYSLOGD file at server startup.
Resolving The Problem
These messages can be avoided by configuring a separate FTP.DATA input for use by the FTP client and server. The server's configuration input can be placed in a data set (or UNIX file) referenced from a SYSFTPD DD in the started task's JCL. The client's configuration input can then be placed in a data set or file in the default search order (such as SYS1.TCPPARMS(FTPDATA)). Besides isolating statements that are only relevant for one or the other environment, it is likely that there are other configuration values where different defaults are desired for each.
An alternative option is to code SUPPRESSIGNOREWARNINGS TRUE in the FTP.DATA file. This will suppress these messages when the same input is used for both environments. Note the Usage Notes listed for this statement.
