DCL symbol substitution and FTP?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have a batch DCL command file which has the command to FTP a file to an NT
box.  The location of the file on the NT box changes based on user
selection, by date.  How can I use a symbol or logical in the FTP command.
I have tried it and it never seems
to interpret the logical or symbol (using a CD command to change
directories).  I know I can create and build a .COM file then execute it,
but I thought there would be a simpler way. Any ideas?
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  Use COPY/FTP.
 
  If you wish to pursue DCL symbol substitution when an application,
  not DCL, is reading and processing the input, please see topics
  such as 1495 and 1960.
