Overview

SLiKSFTP is a utility program that provides direct transfer of z/OS mainframe (“MVS”) datasets to and from remote sites in compliance with the SFTP or FTP protocol There is no need to copy MVS datasets to (outgoing) or from (incoming) the USS file system.

SLiKSFTP operates as an SFTP or FTP client only.

SLiKSFTP has built-in compression routines that enable it to convert an MVS dataset to a zip file “on the fly”. When this option is chosen the compression and the transfer operations proceed in parallel. Typically the elapsed transfer time will be significantly less than either the time required to transfer the MVS dataset uncompressed, or the total time required to first zip the MVS dataset and then transfer the resulting zip file.

When the ZIP option is chosen it's also possible to specify a passphrase so that the ZIP member is encrypted (AES 128/192/256 bit, depending upon the length of the passphrase). Use of this option can also enhance the post-transfer security of data sent to a remote system.

ASE makes it easy for you to trial SLiKSFTP anonymously so you can decide for yourself if it will make your business computing more effective.



Installing SLiKSFTP

SLiKSFTP is installed by downloading the install XMIT file from the ASE website www.ase.com.au/sliksftp/ssdemo.htm

Download SLIKS200.INSTALL.ZIP to your PC workstation.

Extract file SLIKS200.INSTALL.XMIT.

Transfer file SLIKS200.INSTALL.XMIT to a z/OS dataset named: hlq.SLIKS200.INSTALL.XMIT

Use dataset attributes: RECFM=FB, LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=asuitablevalue.

Specify BINARY during the transfers to prevent any translation.

Use the following JCL to RECEIVE the XMIT file:

//TSO EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * DELETE SLIKS200.INSTALL RECEIVE INDA('hlq.SLIKS200.INSTALL.XMIT') DELETE SLIKS200.SFTPSAMP RECEIVE INDA(SLIKS200.INSTALL(SFTPSAMP)) DELETE SLIKS200.SFTPLOAD RECEIVE INDA(SLIKS200.INSTALL(SFTPLOAD)) /*

This will create the load module library hlq.SLIKS200.SFTPLOAD and the sample library hlq.SLIKS200.SFTPSAMP.



Product Activation The copy of SLiKSFTP you download from the ASE website is a full-function demo version. Once installed you must obtain a key in order to use it. A key, good for the current day only, may be obtained anonymously from the SLiKSFTP web site at http://www.ase.com.au/sliksftp/ssdemo.htm. Alternatively, you may complete a Trial Agreement, fax it to ASE and we will email you a key for a 30 day extended trial. The key is a 34-character string that must be supplied to the demo version of SLiKZiP in a control statement so that the product will function. The control statement will look like this: demokey nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The string of n’s represents the 34-character key. If the key is invalid or has expired, you’ll get this message and SLiKZiP will terminate immediately: ZIP0207I DEMOKEY value missing or invalid for today's date, terminating

Installing SLiKSFTP license key

When you take out a license for SLiKSFTP from ASE you will not have to supply DEMOKEY statements to use the software. Instead ASE will supply you with a 12-month key. Refer to the LICENSE member of the sample library to create a batch job which will install the key directly into the product. During the duration of your license term ASE will automatically supply your nominated email contact(s) with a replacement 12-month key 45 days prior to the expiry of the current key that you are using. SLiKSFTP will automatically start warning users, via message ZIP0213W, when the current key is less than 31 days from expiring.



(Page intentionally unused)



Using SLiKSFTP

The program is designed to be used in z/OS batch.

Sample JCL for running SLiKSFTP:

//SLIKZ EXEC PGM=SLIKSFTP,REGION=4M //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ASE.SLIKSFTP.LOAD //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133) //SYSIN DD * ..control statements go here.. // See SAMPLIB member RUNSFTP

SSH Connection Authentication for SFTP

When running as a SFTP client the connection to the remote site is established via SSH. As SLiKSFTP runs as a batch job a non-interactive authentication method such as public key authentication is required.

Refer to the Chapter 7 Getting ready to use OpenSSH in the IBM Ported Tools for z/OS User’s Guide (SA22-7985) for details on how to configure SSH authentication.

Running as an SFTP client

By default SLiKSFTP runs as an SFTP client.

Note that some statement verbs and options are exclusive to (only supported in) SFTP mode.

Running as an FTP client

The FTP control statement can be used to switch the program to run as an FTP client. When present, the FTP statement must be the first statement in the control statement file –or- the first statement following a DEMOKEY statement if one is present.

Note that some statement verbs are exclusive to (only supported in) FTP mode.



SLiKSFTP Control Statements

Control statements, or commands, are read via ddname SYSIN. Refer to “Sample JCL for running SLiKSFTP” above.

syntax

Statements have the format:

Verb operands

Statements may be continued over multiple lines using the “trailing plus” syntax:

compopt select('s*.dat,t*.rpt'),+ ascii,+ lf

When a statement is to be continued, make the last non-blank character, or the last non-blank character prior to any “/*”, a “+” (plus sign). If the following line has any leading spaces, they will be ignored. This means that if the statement syntax requires a blank or space, to separate two process options for example, then at least one space must precede the “+”.

Comments can be added to the end of any control statement. Comments begin with the characters “/*” e.g:

Demokey C96A98378CC7DA37572DB107CE9F6AFC31 /* Today’s key

The following commands are supported:

demokey key

Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Specifies the trial license key. Key values, current for today only, may be obtained from the SLiKSFTP page at http://www.ase.com.au/sliksftp/ssdemo.htm

Trial users must provide a valid enabling key by placing a demokey statement as the first line in the control statement file.

[Licensed users of SLiKSFTP are provided with a long-term key which they install in the SLiKSFTP load module, thus removing the need for the demokey statement.]



ftp

Usage: in SFTP mode to switch to FTP mode.

Switch to FTP mode. The FTP protocol will be used to transfer data to/from the server. The ftp statement must either be the first control statement, or must follow immediately after a demokey statement if one is present.

open hostname [port]

Usage: FTP mode only

Specifies the remote host to logon to. Optionally you can specify a port number to override the default port 21.

userid username@hostname Usage: SFTP mode only

Specifies the remote host to logon to and the user name to use. A session is established with the remote host via ssh.

userid username


Specifies the username to use when logging on to the remote ftp server.

pass password Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Specifies the password for the userid specified on the userid statement.

cd remotedir Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Change directory on the remote host. This command enables the user to identify where in the remote host’s filesystem subsequent file & directory management commands operate.

binary


Perform a binary transfer. The file being transferred is not to be subject to any form of translation.



ascii


During a PUT or PUTZIP operation every byte of the data to be transferred will be first translated from EBCDIC to ASCII and LF sequences will be inserted as record terminators

During a GET or GETZIP operation the decrypted and unzipped data will be translated from ASCII to EBCDIC. LF or CRLF sequences will be removed from the end of each record.

crlf Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

During a PUT or PUTZIP operation a carriage return and line feed sequence will be inserted at the end of each record before it is processed.

During a GET or GETZIP operation CRLF characters will be removed from the end of each record.

nocrlf


Disables a previous crlf command. A carriage return and line feed sequence will not be inserted at or removed from the end of each record processed.

lf


During a PUT or PUTZIP operation a line feed sequence will be inserted at the end of each record before it is processed.

During a GET or GETZIP operation line feed characters will be removed from the end of each record.

nolf Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Disable a previous lf command. A line feed sequence will not be inserted at or removed from the end of each record processed.

elf


During a PUT or PUTZIP operation an ebcdic line feed sequence (x’15’) will be inserted at the end of each record before it is processed.



During a GET or GETZIP operation ebcdic line feed characters will be removed from the end of each record.

noelf


Disable a previous elf command. An ebcdic line feed sequence (x’15’) will not be inserted at or removed from the end of each record processed.

ebcdic Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

During a PUT or PUTZIP a EBCDIC new line character (x’15’) will be inserted at the end of each record.

During a GET or GETZIP operation the EBCDIC new line character (x’15) will mark the end of each logical record and will be removed.

The ebcdic option should be used when transferring text data between z/OS systems.

filepart


During a put operation the file will be transferred using a temporary filename that consists of the target file name with “.filepart” appended. Once the transfer has completed successfully the file will be renamed to the target name. Using FILEPART ensures that a target file is not replaced if the transfer fails. FILEPART is the default.

nofilepart Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

For a put operation the file will be transferred using the target filename. This overrides the default operation where the file is transferred using a temporary name that consists of the file name with “.filepart” appended. Note that by specifying NOFILEPART the target file will be overwritten even if the transfer fails.



put mvsdsn|dd:ddname remotefile


Transfer a z/OS dataset to file remotefile on the remote host. The file is not compressed. Specify either a dataset name (mvsdsn) or a ddname to which the dataset is allocated (dd:ddname). The mvsdsn can be a generic mask containing ‘?’ to match single characters, an asterisk (‘*’) to match multiple characters e.g ASE.* and a double asterisk (‘**’) to match any number of qualifiers e.g ASE.**.TEST. All datasets that match the mask will be transferred.

The remote file name remotefile may be an actual file name or a template composed of literal characters and built-in function expressions to be resolved at run time. See Using Built-in Functions for generating names.

In FTP mode, if the FTP site options FILETYPE=JES has been specified then mvsdsn will specify a dataset on the local machine that contains a job that is to be submitted to the remote machine.

If remotefile is not specified then it will default to the mvs dataset name.

putzip mvsdsn|dd:ddname|%ddname remotezipfile Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Transfer z/OS dataset to file remotezipfile on the remote host. The z/OS dataset content will be compressed on the fly and remotezipfile will be in the zip file format. Specify either a dataset name (mvsdsn) or a ddname to which the dataset is allocated (dd:ddname). The mvsdsn can be a generic mask containing ‘?’ to match single characters, an asterisk (‘*’) to match multiple characters e.g ASE.* and a double asterisk (‘**’) to match any number of qualifiers e.g ASE.**.TEST. All datasets that match the mask will be transferred.

If the mvsdsn is specified as %ddname then the compression program will read control statements from DD statement ddname to determine the data to be compressed and the compression options. If ddname is omitted i.e just % is specified then the ddname will default to SLIKCNTL. This feature allows more advanced zip files to be transferred to the remote system.

The remote zip file name remotefile may be an actual file name or a template composed of literal characters and built-in function expressions to be resolved at run time. See Using Built-in Functions for generating names.

If mvsdsn is generic then by default each dataset will be processed separately, allowing a unique remote zip file to be created for each dataset if remotezipfile specifies a template. To force all matching files to be zipped to the one remote zip file use a compopt singlezip statement before the putzip statement.

If remotezipfile is not specified then it will default to the mvs dataset name.



get remotefile mvsdsn|dd:ddname


Transfer file remotefile from remote host to a z/OS dataset. Specify either a dataset name (mvsdsn) or a ddname to which the dataset is allocated (dd:ddname). If mvsdsn does not exist then it will be allocated if an attr statement has been previously encountered.

The remotefile can be a generic mask containing ‘?’ to match single characters and an asterisk (‘*’) to match multiple characters e.g daily*.txt. All datasets that match the mask will be transferred.

The dataset name mvsdsn may be an actual file name or a template composed of literal characters and built-in function expressions to be resolved at run time. See Using Built-in Functions for generating names.

If mvsdsn is not specified then it will default to the remote file name.

In FTP mode, if the FTP site options FILETYPE=JES and NOJESGETBYDSN have been specified then remotefile will specify a dataset on the remote machine that contains a job that is to be submitted. SLiKSFTP will wait until the job completes and will then retrieve the output and place it in the dataset specified by mvsdsn.

getzip remotezipfile mvsdsn|dd:ddname|%ddname Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Transfer file remotezipfile on the remote host, unzipping it to create a z/OS dataset. Specify either a dataset name (mvsdsn) or a ddname to which the dataset is allocated (dd:ddname). If mvsdsn does not exist then it will be allocated if an attr statement has been previously encountered.

All members of the zip file will be extracted. To extract only specific members of the dataset use a compopt select(argument) statement prior to the getzip statement

The remotezipfile can be a generic mask containing ‘?’ to match single characters and an asterisk (‘*’) to match multiple characters e.g daily*.zip. All datasets that match the mask will be transferred and unzipped.

If the mvsdsn is specified as %ddname then the uncompression program will read control statements from the DD statement ddname to determine the data to be uncompressed and the uncompression options. If ddname is omitted i.e just % is specified then the ddname will default to SLIKCNTL. This feature allows more advanced uncompress operations to be performed.

The dataset name mvsdsn may be an actual file name or a template composed of literal characters and built-in function expressions to be resolved at run time. See Using Built-in Functions for generating names.



If mvsdsn is not specified and compopt tods(datasetname) has previously been specified then the tods dataset name will be passed to SliKZiP as the output dataset. The dataset name can be a SliKZiP template which will enable datasets to be created based on the names of the members extracted from the zip file.

If mvsdsn is not specified and compopt tods has not been specified then it will default to the remote file name.

attr ‘allocation parameters’


The attr statement provides allocation parameters to be used if the target dataset for a get/getzip operation does not exist. The allocation parameters should be in the format of a TSO allocate command. Do not specify DSN or FILE operands.

noattr


The noattr statement resets the allocation parameters provided by a previous attr statement.

chmod mode remotefile

Usage: SFTP mode only

Changes the permissions of the file remotefile to mode. Mode must be an octal number.

chgrp grp remotefile


Changes the group the file remotefile to grp. grp must be a numeric GID.

chown owner remotefile


Changes the owner of file remotefile to owner. owner must be a numeric UID.

exit|bye|quit


Terminate the ssh session with the remote host.



ls remotefile


List statistics for file remotefile on the remote host. If remotefile is a directory the contents of the directory are listed. If directory is not specified the current working directory is listed.

mkdir dirname


Make directory dirname on the remote host.

rmdir dirname Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Remove directory dirname on the remote host.

rm remotefile


Remove file remotefile from the “current” directory on the remote host.

pwd Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

Print the name of the “working” or “current” directory on the remote host.

sshconf configfilename Usage: SFTP mode only

Specifies the name of an alternate ssh configuration file to be passed to ssh. This will override the system ssh options. This statement must occur before the USERID statement.

sshopt option


Specifies an option to be passed to ssh. This allows individual options in the ssh config file to be overridden. This statement must occur before the USERID statement.



passive


Toggles the state of the passive transfer mode. If passive mode is on then the server will listen on a data port and wait for a connection from the client rather than initiate a session on the receipt of a transfer command. By default passive mode in on.

Passive mode is necessary if the client is located behind a firewall. Normally the server will not be able to start a data session with the client if the session must pass through a firewall.

site siteoptions Usage: FTP mode only

The site command allows options that are unique to the server to be sent.

quote string


The free format string specified will be sent to the server as a command. This allows custom commands not implemented by SLiKSFTP to be sent to the server.

stat


Displays a status response from the server.

syst Usage: FTP mode only

Displays the type of operating system at the server.

help


Displays the help information from the server.

debug

Usage: SFTP and FTP mode only

Displays debugging information from SLiKSFTP.



debug1 debug2 debug3


Displays debugging information from SSH. Debug1 causes a –v parameter to be passed to ssh. Debug2 causes –vv to be passed and debug3 causes –vvv to be passed.

options option1[,option2,…]


The OPTIONS statement or command supports the following keywords:

crpath

For put and putzip operations, directories in the path of the target remote file that do not exist will be created.

nocrpath

For put and putzip operations, directories in the path of the target remote file that do not exist will not be created. If the directories do not exist then the file transfer will fail. This is the default.

ignorerr

Causes errors reported by the FTP server to be ignored. This can be used to avoid SLiKSFTP terminating if a command such as RM fails due to a non existent file.

noignorerr

Non zero return codes from FTP commands will cause SLiKSFTP to terminate. This is the default.

jeswait(nnnn)

The maximum number of seconds to wait for a job submitted to a remote JES2 system to complete. If the wait time is exceeded then the output from the job will not be retrieved. The default is to wait forever.



keepalive(nnnn)

Sets the TCP_KeepAlive socket option to the value specified (1-2147460 seconds). The default is the system tcp value. This parameter allows you to override the system value if TCP sessions are timing out. TCP will send a keep-alive packet at the specified interval to keep the session active.

mergeout

Messages normally written to ddname STDERR will be written to STDOUT.

mow(nnnn)

Maximum outstanding writes. For each write the server responds with a status message. Performance is improved if these messages are processed in a group rather than individually. The mow(nnnn) parameter specifies the number of write requests that will be performed before a status response is read from the server. The default value is 1000. This parameter only affects SFTP transfers.

nostderr

Messages normally written to ddname STDERR will be discarded.

progress

Show progress messages during transfer. If both PROGRESS and NOPROGRESS are omitted, PROGRESS is the default.

noprogress

Do not show progress messages during transfer. If both PROGRESS and NOPROGRESS are omitted, PROGRESS is the default.

replace

A PUT or PUTZIP operation will replace an existing file of the same name on the remote host. If both REPLACE and NOREPLACE are omitted, REPLACE is the default.

noreplace

A PUT or PUTZIP operation will not replace an existing file of the same name on the remote host. If both RESUME and NORESUME are omitted, NORESUME is the default.

resume

A PUT or PUTZIP operation will resume a previously interrupted transfer of the same file to the remote host. If both RESUME and NORESUME are omitted, NORESUME is the default.



noresume

A PUT or PUTZIP operation will not resume a previously interrupted transfer of the same file to the remote host. The transfer will be restarted from the beginning of the file. If both RESUME and NORESUME are omitted, NORESUME is the default.

retry(nnnn)

Sets the maximum number of times that SLiKSFTP will retry a transfer that has failed due to a network error. The default is 5.

size(nnnn)

Sets the maximum packet size to use when transferring data. The maximum value is 98304. This value should be larger than the record length of the file being transferred.

zipmsgs

Causes messages from the zip/unzip program to be written to the SYSPRINT DD statement. This will show compression statistics for PUTZIP and GETZIP operations. This is the default.

nozipmsgs

Suppresses the printing of messages from the zip/unzip program.

debug

Displays debugging information from SLiKSFTP.

debug1 debug2 debug3

Displays debugging information from SSH. Debug1 causes a –v parameter to be passed to ssh. Debug2 causes –vv to be passed and debug3 causes –vvv to be passed.

compopt option1[,option2,…] Usage: SFTP and FTP mode

This statement specifies options for the compress/uncompress process when performing a PUTZIP or GETZIP operation. The following keywords are supported:



ascii

During a PUTZIP operation every byte of the data to be transferred will be first translated from EBCDIC to ASCII.

During a GETZIP operation the decrypted and unzipped data will be translated from ASCII to EBCDIC.

Note that this differs from ASCII control statement above. The ASCII control statement also appends a carriage return and line feed to each record. This option just translates the record to ASCII, you then must specify either LF or CRLF to append line terminator characters.

binary

Perform a binary transfer. The file being transferred is not to be subject to any form of translation.

elf

During a PUTZIP each record transferred will have an ebcdic linefeed character (x’15’) appended as a record terminator before being compressed.

During a GETZIP operation the end of each decrypted record will be determined by the presence of an ebcdic linefeed character. The linefeed character will be removed before writing the record to the output dataset.

noelf

Disables a previous elf option.

lf

During a PUTZIP each record transferred will have a linefeed character appended as a record terminator before being compressed.

During a GETZIP operation the end of each decrypted record will be determined by the presence of a linefeed character. The linefeed character will be removed before writing the record to the output dataset.

nolf

Disables a previous nolf option.

crlf

During a PUTZIP each record transferred will have a carriage return and linefeed characters appended as a record terminator before being compressed.

During a GETZIP operation the end of each decrypted record will be determined by the presence of a carriage return/linefeed pair. The carriage return and linefeed characters will be removed before writing the record to the output dataset.



nocrlf

Disables a previous crlf option.

member(name)

Used when performing a PUTZIP operation to specify the member name in the zip file for the compressed mvs dataset.

opt(string)

Specifies a free format string of options to be passed to the compression program. The string should be enclosed in single quotes if it contains more than one term.

password(password)

For a PUTZIP operation, the zip file member is to be encrypted using AES 128/192/256 bit encryption using password.

For a GETZIP operation, if the zip file member is encrypted using AES 128/192/256 bit encryption, decryption will be attempted using password.

Note that password may be up to 99 characters in length. password must be enclosed in doublequotes (“) if it contains spaces, commas, apostrophes or parentheses.

Note that for a PUTZIP operation, password will be required at the remote system to unzip the file.

replace

During a GETZIP operation if the target MVS dataset is a PDS then existing members that are uncompressed will be replaced.

noreplace

During a GETZIP operation if the target MVS dataset is a PDS then existing members will are uncompressed will not be replaced. This is the default.

singlezip

For a PUTZIP operation where the input dataset name is a generic mask, all the matching input datasets will be compressed into a single output zip file.

nosinglezip

For a PUTZIP operation where the input dataset name is a generic mask, each matching input dataset will be processed separately and multiple output zip files will be created if the output file name is a template or is omitted. This is the default.



strip

Removes trailing blanks from each text record before transferring the record during a PUT or PUTZIP operation. Either ASCII or EBCDIC command must also be specified. This will reduce the amount of data transferred especially if the input file has RECFM=FB. This is the default for text files.

nostrip

Suppresses removal of trailing blanks from each text record before transferring the record during a PUT or PUTZIP operation.

select(selectionmask)

For a PUTZIP operation, if the mvs dataset specifies a PDS then the selection mask is used to select members of the PDS to be added to the zip file. The selection mask has the form member.ext The member part is used to select the members of the PDS and can be generic e.g. D*.txt . The ext part is appended to each member name selected to create the default name for the zip file member.

For a GETZIP operation, the selection mask is used to select members of the zip file to be unzipped. The selection mask can be generic e.g. Report*.dat.

text

During a PUTZIP operation every byte of the data to be transferred will be first translated from EBCDIC to ASCII and each record will have a carriage return and line feed characters appended.

During a GETZIP operation the decrypted and unzipped data will be translated from ASCII to EBCDIC and carriage return and line feed characters will be removed from each record.

tods(dsn)

This parameter can be used on a getzip operation to specify the output dataset name. The name can be a SliKZiP filename template.

notods

This parameter can be used to reset a previous tods parameter.

trunc

During a GETZIP operation, if the uncompressed record is longer than the logical record for the output dataset then the record will be truncated.



wrap

During a GETZIP operation, if the uncompressed record is longer than the logical record for the output dataset then the record will be wrapped into multiple records. This is the default.

zip64

Specifies that the 64-bit zip file architectural option is to be used. This option must be specified if there is a possibility that the z/OS dataset contains 4GB or more of data. Compliant unzip programs on the remote system will support the ZIP64 architecture.

/* (comment-only lines) A comment-only line may be inserted at any point in the control statement file. Note that at least the first position of a comment-only line must be blank. The first, or left-most, non-blank characters on a comment-only line must be “/*”.

Do not place “/*” in the first two positions of a control statement line as this will be interpreted by z/OS as an end-of-file indicator.

Built-in Functions

Creating output dataset/file names for GET/PUT operations For GET/PUT operations, output dataset/file names can be built at run time using built-in functions. This feature can greatly enhance automation of GET/PUT operations when multiple files are transferred. When the dataset/file name provided as the second operand of a PUT or GET statement, contains an “&” character then we refer to it as a template. For a GET operation the actual dataset whose name is generated at run time may or may not exist. If it doesn’t exist you may want SLiKSFTP to create it. To assist this process you may specify the allocation attributes to use on a ATTR control statement prior to the GET operation. When building a dataset name, any lower case characters selected are converted to upper case. If the resulting dataset name is not a valid one then the dynamic allocation will fail and SLiKSFTP will be unable to complete the operation.



Using Built-in Functions for generating names SliKSFTP supports a number of symbolic references that can be used to create template dataset names for GET operations and remote file names during PUT operations.

Using Substrings and Segment numbers All of the functions permit optional substring specifications (up to three numbers enclosed in braces {} immediately following the function name). Substring specification supports two forms: ‘from: to’ and ‘from,for’. Use of the colon or comma differentiates between the two forms. ‘from:to’ format indicates the start and end positions of a range. Negative numbers indicate positions relative to the right-hand end e.g. 2:-2 means from position 2 to the second last position. The ‘from,for’ format indicates the start position and a count of characters. The ‘from’ position can be a negative number here as well e.g. ‘-2,1’ means from the second last position for a count of one. There is a third form where a single number provides a “from” position and the “for” value is assumed to be “the rest”. Some of the built-in functions support a segment number as well. Dataset names, like SYS1.PROD.SYSLOG, and paths, like /etc/editor/settings.conf, consist of multiple parts that we refer to as segments. The segment number may be used to select a single segment from the name. Again, a negative number may be used with, for example, ‘-1’ meaning the last or right-most segment. Segment number 0 refers to the complete name including the segment separator characters. When using a function reference without any substring specification, the reference must be followed immediately by a trailing “.” so that SLiKSFTP knows unambiguously where the function name ends. Assuming we wanted remote file names to consist of the PDS member name plus an appended “#0” then if we tried &MEM#0 SLiKSFTP would complain about unknown variable or function in pattern. Instead we’d have to code &MEM.#0. The corollary of this is that when we actually want a period to follow the resolution of a function name we have to use two periods, the first of which will be discarded. E.g. &time..txt



Built-in Functions supported by SLiKSFTP The following built-in functions are supported by SLiKSFTP:

&zf[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the current file-id in GET operations.

&zn[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the current file-name in GET operations.

&mem is a synonym for &zn in GET operations and for the PDS member name in PUT operations.

&zx[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the current file extension in GET operations.

&ext is a synonym for &zx in GET operations.

&frdd[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the current source DD name in PUT operations.

&frds[{segment#[,segmentcount:segment#]}] refers to the current source dataset name in PUT operations. Note that dataset name segments are separated by periods (.). This syntax allows one or more dataset name segments to be extracted.

&frds[{segment#[,from:tofrom,for]}] refers to the current source dataset name in PUT operations. Note that dataset name segments are separated by periods (.). This syntax allows all or part of a single dataset name segment to be extracted.

&frpa[{segment#[,segmentcount:segment#]}] refers to the current source dataset name with periods replaced by “/” so that the dataset name looks like a path with segments separated by the “/” character. This syntax allows one or more dataset name segments to be extracted with “/” separating them. Only valid for PUT operations.

&frpa[{segment#[,from:tofrom,for]}] refers to the current source dataset name with periods replaced by “/” so that the dataset name looks like a path with segments separated by the “/” character. This syntax allows all or part of a single dataset name segment to be extracted. Only valid for PUT operations.

&date[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the local date in yyyymmdd format.

&time[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the local time in hhmmss format.

&zp[{segment#[,from:tofrom,for]}] refers to the current path in GET operations. Path segments are separated by the “/” character. The last segment, &ZP{-1}, is equivalent to &ZF.

&n[{from:tofrom,for}] refers to the relative number (1,2,3…) of the file transfer. All built-in functions also have variants that produce an uppercase or lowercase result. An uppercase result can be obtained by appending a “uc” suffix to the function name. Similarly a lowercase result can be obtained by appending a “lc” suffix. For example the current file-id can be obtained using the &zf function. To obtain a lowercase version of the file-id use the &zflc function. For uppercase use &zfuc.



Here are some examples illustrating various substring arguments. These examples assume that &frds has the value “APPL.SALES.D020516” and &mem has the value “DAT01JUN”. &frds{2} resolves to “ SALES” &frdslc{2} “sales” &frdsuc{2} “SALES” &frpa{2:3} “SALES/D020516” &frds{1,2} “APPL.SALES” &frds{3,2:7} “020516” &frds{3,4,4} “0516” &frds{3} “D020516” &frds{-1} “D020516” &frpa{0,4,3} “L/S” &MEM{4:8} “01JUN” &MEM{-3} “JUN” &MEMLC{-3} “jun”

Error message text specific to Built-in Function processing

The following error text can appear as a part of, or in association with, other SLiKSFTP messages:

invalid template or pattern syntax

Review the syntax rules, review the template in PUT or GET operands.

result buffer overflow

The template expansion exceeds 256 bytes, the maximum length supported

unknown variable or function in pattern

Review the supported function names. Perhaps a function name should be terminated with “.”

empty sublist after variable reference in pattern

The program found {} characters indicating a sublist is present but it was empty.

a sublist term is null

too many sublist terms

The specific built-in function does not support as many terms as the sublist contains.



segment numbers out of order

Starting segment # must not resolve higher than ending segment #

sublist contains a negative "for" value

For values must be 0,1,2,…

sublist "to" value resolves lower than "from" value

If negative “from” or “to” values were specified then there may be fewer segments or positions in the value of the built-in function or variable name than you expected.
