Finding incoming files

[Damien FERRAND]

Hello,
I have to questions:

- I have to process files that come to my AS/400 by ftp. For the moment, I
have a batch job that lists files in a library. Is there a best way to do
it?

- To ensure that the file has been completly uploaded, I try to allocate
it with exclusion, is there another way?

Thank You

After the FTP PUT, have the requestor notify via MSGQ, DTAQ, record to a file
with wait on EOF forever, etc, that the PUT was completed; where the batch job
listens to one of those objects for the condition. This answers both
questions.?.?
