Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)&CURTIME is not current
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
The FTP variable
&CURTIME reflects the time when the handler is initiated, not the time when
the SETVAR is executed. When two
reports are to be FTP'd from the same job and the CURTIME value is used to
build a unique file name for the outbound file, duplicates are built.

Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
AUTOFTP scripts with unique &CURTIME values
would allow for more robust applications.
We are FTPing VSE reports as PDF files to a VM SFS pool. The user can then retrieve their reports via
there favorite browser and print at their discretion. Generating unique file names would allow for additional
automation of the process.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Change the processing of &CURTIME so that
it is set at SETVAR time instead of the invocation of the script.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
