FTP Print Driver

Use this print driver to automatically FTP transfer all types of CA Spool print files, including PDF/HTML/RTF wrapped text files, directly to a remote FTP server for further processing.

The FTP print driver provides support for:

• Text reports stored in EBCDIC without translation and with preservation of carriage control information
• Automatic conversion of text files into PDF, HTML or RTF files while being transferred to a remote FTP server.

You can specify FTP report attributes and processing options:

• On the printer level using the using the 4*60=240 bytes DRIVPRM1-4 parameters.
• On the print file level using the 4*60=240 byte OUTPUT ADDRESS parameters.

You can specify this using JCL or have it be automatically assigned using CA Spool DESTID definitions.

If you specify an FTP print driver parameter more than once, then the last specification is used.

You can automatically generate unique identifying names; that is, you can specify that the FILENAME= remote-file-name must be synthesized from userid, destination, file name, file number, date, time, job number, job name, job class, job step, proc step, DD name, and fixed text.
