Hi

I am new to JCL transmission jobs.
I have a FTP Job

// EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=0M,
// PARM=111.111.111.111(EXIT TIMEOUT 1440'
//*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSMDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//*
//INPUT DD *
Location.
/*


I want to to make sure that the JCL connect to the IP address mentioned in the JCL. Please let me know if there is any way i can submit this job without sending the files to the destination location and testing whether this job connected to the IP address metioned in the JCL.



Regards
Raul

Well, yes, don't PUT or GET anything. Try any other commands supported by that site, or even just logon and then quit.
