//CSS18>put routes.txt //css18.routes.text

I have created a batch file with the following commands.

ls /+lrecl=133
put h:\sftpprint.txt //css18.user.sftprint

and it works
Enter password for css18@mvs1:
//CSS18>ls /+lrecl=133
/+lrecl=133
//CSS18>put h:\sftpprint.txt //css18.user.sftprint
Uploaded h:\sftpprint.txt to //css18.user.sftprint (102.4kB 102.4kB/s 00:00:01)
//CSS18>

The Co:Z SFTP server error log will have more detailed messages for these failures.

See this for more information:

Were there any messages in the joblog or syslog for this failure?

I'm not sure why you are getting this error code from the IBM C library fopen() function (0xC00B0283). If you try to look up this errno2 code with bpxmtext, you will find that it is not documented, therefore if this problem persists you will unfortunately need to open a problem with IBM to determine the cause.

If you turn on tracing logging in the Co:Z SFTP server, you will get more information in the error log including the BPXWDYN allocation command used to allocate the DD, which might be helpful.

Code: Select all

sftp> ls /+loglevel=T
sftp> ls /+lrecl=133,recfm=vb
sftp> put myfile //HLQ.NEW.DSN
sftp> get /+error.log   trace.log
