Error listing PDS members in MVS

Reported by: cwonsie Owned by:

Description

I have noticed that when I connect to an MVS host via
FileZilla and attempt to display a listing of all members
within a partitioned dataset (PDS), some of the
members are missing. When I manually log onto the
MVS host and browse the PDS, the missing members
are there.

The one thing that all of these 'missing' PDS members
have in common is that they were last modified by a
batch job or outside process, not a physical user/TSO
ID. For some reason it seems this prevents FileZilla
from recognizing that the members actually do exist
within the dataset. If I enter any of the problem
members and manually save the file (thus setting the
last modified user to my TSO ID) the member is
correctly listed in FileZilla.

The mainfraim is running ZOS/MVS...This seems to be
an issue of how FTP retrieves member lists from PDSs.
It can be very frustrating and has caused me a lot of
rework in the past.

Just thought I'd report this as a potential bug.

Thank you,
cwonsie

Please enable "Show raw directory listing" on the debug page
in the settings dialog of FileZilla and post the output.

comment:2 by cwonsie, 19 years ago

Here's what the 'show raw dir listing' results look like...note
that the owner ID listed is a batch machine ID, not a user ID.
None of these members are displayed within the dir listing
output in FileZilla.

This has gotten me into trouble when some members have a

without realizing until it was too late.

Response: 250 List completed successfully.
Status: Directory listing successful
Command: TYPE A

This has gotten me into trouble when some members have a
user ID and some have a machine owner ID...so only some
files are missing...and I've wound up FTPing incomplete data
without realizing until it was too late.

Thanks,
Craig

I've found the reason for the problems. On servers not using
the standard unix directory listing format, filetimes were
parsed incorrectly. All files with a timestampt between 0:00
and 0:59 were not displayed at all.

I'll release a fixed version of FileZilla later this weekend.

Thank you for your support. I will be happy to test out the
new release on my MVS system and post the results.
