Usage Note 7412: The FTP access method adds the user profile prefix to the file name
 |  |  |  |
When you use the FTP access method in the FILENAME statement to access files in z/OS operating environments, the user ID or TSO profile prefix is added by default to the beginning of the file name as the high-level qualifier. Here is an example:
FILENAME fileref FTP 'my.data.file' USER='userid1'
HOST='ip-address' PROMPT;
HOST='ip-address' PROMPT;
The file name being processed on the FTP server is userid1.my.data.file.
To prevent the user ID or TSO profile prefix from being added to the file name, enclose the name of the file in both double and single quotation marks. Here is an example:
FILENAME fileref FTP "'my.data.file'" USER='userid1'
HOST='ip-address' PROMPT;
HOST='ip-address' PROMPT;
