This is simple , I am assuming some flaws at my end. So I am using ftplib to access the Mainframe. After entering through credentials, I have to go in a certain DSNAME and see the list of the files under it..
The Code :
ftp.dir("ABCD.TR.RTYP4573.REQW3024")
ftp.retrlines("LIST")
However I am getting error like :
error_perm: 550 No data sets found.
After banging my head around here and there , I have finally found a solution. And I will try to be as verbose as I can since it might help others.
import ftplib
from ftplib import *
ftp = ftplib.FTP('xyz.tpt.com','abcdef','abcdef')
ftp.retrlines('LIST')
ftp.dir()
The last two commands gives the name of DSNAME's where you are currently. Both can be used interchangingly (is it a word !!!! )
ftp.sendcmd('pwd')
Provides the name of "present working directory".
ftp.cwd("'PSQW.CV.RRRR67.RETY890'")
The above command will change the working direcoty. Please please use the quotes inside quotes.
ftp.retrlines('LIST')
See the file listing........
