A Mainframe IDE Powered By Unix Technology [11] - Submit JCL from ftp command or shell script

As we can issue site command in ftp mode,
after that we can submit JCL file to JES and run it,
the JCL file can be located in local folder or z/OS dataset.

A. ftp mode:
1. Submit local JCL file to JES:
start command console:WIN->run->cmd
change dir to JCL file's folder:
>cd dir
issue ftp command in command console:
>ftp ip_address
login with user name and password: user user_name password
issue site command:
>site filetype=jes
You will see:
SITE command was accepted

then issue put command to submit JCL to JES:
>put JCL_File_Name
then you can use dir to browse:
>dir
You will see:
ftp> dir
200 Port request OK.
125 List started OK
JOB_NAME JOB_Number OUTPUT X Spool Files
250 List completed successfully.

After job finished, status changed to OUTPUT,
you can use get command to get spool file to local drive:
>get Job_Number

2. Submit JCL file stored in z/OS dataset to JES:
After issue site command in ftp mode, issue get command like this:
>get 'dataset_name(member)' spool_file_name
get command will retrive spool file automaticlly when job finished,
spool_file_name is the file which will get to local folder.
You also can issue get command to retrive one of spool file:
>get JOB_Number.file_number: get J1234567.1
J1234567 is the job number, it will get the first spool file in job J1234567

3. Configuration:
after login and issue site command, issue this:
>quote site status
You will see all the settings.

B. shell script mode:
1. We can write a shell to issue all the command we needed at the same time automaticlly.
Suppose ftpjw is the shell name, we can store ip_address, user name and password in it,
for security reason, we'd better compile shell scirpt to an executable file, then nobody
can get something sensitive information like user_name and password etc.

issue this command:
>ftpjw put JCL_File_Name
it will submit the JCL_File_Name in current dir to JES.

issue this command:
>ftpjw dir
it will print out the jobs, this based on user's settings, like owner, jobname prefix.

issue this command:
>ftpjw get J1234567
it will get all JOB_Number's spool file into local folder.

issue this command:
>ftpjw get J1234567.2
it will get JOB_Number's 2nd spool file into local folder as the same name for parameter 3 of script.

Due to shell scirpt's reason, we can't submit JCL located in z/OS dataset.
Script will stop running and won't waiting job finish, we can use expect command to accomplish.
