    It's apparent that the customer is upgrading from a V3.* version of
    UCX, correct?
    
    There have been several changes to FTP which have been discussed in
    this notesfile.
    
    1) MGET TESTES*.TXT doesn't get multiple versions.
    
       That's because you didn't ask for them.  Try MGET TESTES*.TXT;*.
    
    2) FTP exits in batch if a command fails.
    
       That's because a failed command could produce a disasterous result.
       Suppose you CWD to a non-existent directory then MDELETE *.*;*?
       It would delete all of the files in the last current directory.
    
       There is a way around this ... "SET ERROR_LEVEL WARNING" or
       "SET ERROR_LEVEL ERROR".  This tells FTP that you will allow an
       WARNING or ERROR to occur and it should not exit -- AND THAT YOU
       WILL THEREFORE ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES.
    
       If you are in an interactive mode (on a terminal), then it will not
       exit if a command fails.

    
    	Hi Gemignani,
    
     	Yes I am expeting more than one file with FTP>MGET TESTES*.TXT and
    	before the upgrade to Alpha , the customer use V3.3.
    
	Thanks for your reply.
    
    	1)
    
    	I do not mean that the MGET do not get multiple version. It does,
    	but it miss the file extension. I get teste.;1 and teste1.;1 for
    	instance.
  	This problem was reported with V4.1 eco3, but I got ECO4 and the
    	problem continues...When does this extension problem will fixed ?
    
    	If I user ftp>GET TESTE*.TXT I do not have problems with the 
    	extension. I got teste.txt;1 and teste1.txt.
    
    	2)  I tried your suggestion with set error_level warning/error but
    	without sucess.
    
    	I got:
    
    	$set verify
    $!on warning then goto no_file
    $set error_level warning
    $set error_level error
    $set noon
    $       open/write ht ht.tmp
    $       write ht "$ftp"
    $       write ht "conn system"
    $       write ht "login """,f$edit("user","lowercase"),"""
    $       write ht "xpto"
    $       write ht "show status"
    $       write ht "enable log"
    $       write ht "enable trans"
    $       write ht "disable reply"
    $       write ht "debug 1"
    $       write ht "get teste*.log"
    $       write ht "get teste.txt"
    $       write ht "dir/out=ht.lis teste*.log"
    $       write ht "dir/out=ht.lis a*.log"
    $       write ht "exit"
    $       close ht
    $       @ht.tmp
    $       Search ht.lis a*.log
    $       If $SEVERITY .eqs. "1" Then Goto NO_FILE
    $write sys$ouyput "file found..."
    $no_file:
    $write sys$output "No file found"
    $exit
                       
    AND I got the ftp quit if I do not have a teste1.log file  and do not
    do the get teste.txt
    
    After connecting...
    
    enable log
    Bell off.
    Debugging on (debug=1).
    enable trans
    Bell off.
    Hash mark printing on (1024/hash mark).
    disable reply
    Bell off.
    Reply off.
    Verbose off.
    debug 1
    Debugging on (debug=1).
    get teste*.log
    550 file not found
    %FTP-E-NOSUCHFILE, No such file teste*.log
    --->  QUIT
    %DCL-W-SKPDAT, image data (records not beginning with "$") ignored
    $       Search ht.lis a*.log
    %SEARCH-I-NOMATCHES, no strings matched
    $       If $SEVERITY .eqs. "1" Then Goto NO_FILE
    $write sys$ouyput "File found..."
    %DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
    $no_file:
    $write sys$output "No file found"
    "No file found"
    
    
    Any suggestions ? I do not accept the sugestion of doing a dir before
    picking the file...
    
    Thanks,	
    
    Antonio.
    
    
    
    
    	   

    1) When you said "reported", did you mean that you opened an IPMT case
       for it?  I know that the GET case was fixed.  I can send you some
       up-to-date images for you to try.  Please contact me in mail.
    
    2) When I described "SET ERROR_LEVEL", I did not mean the DCL command -
       I meant the FTP command.  There is a command implemented in V4.1
       which does what you want.
