FTP-ing SAS dataset on mainframe from my EG SAS(Remotly)

Tal — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 17:16:38 GMT

Trying to read in a dataset on mainframe from EG SAS (Remote)

filename iGPI ftp "'GPIP.C.M.ZGPIXTRG.MONACCUM(0)'" host='vipap999.xxx.ca' user=***** pass=****** recfm=f lrecl=840 rcmd='site rdw';

data GPI;

infile iGPI;

input

@1 CRDT_SRCE_CD $EBCDIC3.

@4 CRDT_REF_NUM $EBCDIC21.

@25 CRDT_TYPE $EBCDIC3.

@28 SALES_BRANCH_NUM S370FPD3.

@31 CREDIT_NUM S370FPD10.

run;

ERROR: Logon attempt by "userid" rejected by FTP server.

They did say they approved my access to this dataset on the mainframe yesterday so i am wondering if this is some FTP connection issues?

Have confirmed that you connect to that server if you use an FTP program with your id and password?

I've had more than one case where "approval" did not equal "access" for several days and a few times weeks.

see,i did not think of using the FTP program and no i dont have access to their site.

Thank you ballardw for pointing this out 🙂
