The Question is: How to make a commandfile, which download a file from anywhere with anonymus FTP. And it must have the following features: after downloading this program should see the downloaded file's size, and if it doesn't match the original file's size then try it again, until it isn't successful. Please do not use the "DIR" command. I think it would be useful to use F$FILE and F$SEARCH. Sorry about my English! It is urgent, so I would be very glad if you can solve it and send me the solution till Sunday 11.00 pm. Thanx a lot! Sorry I wrote a wrong e-mail account, now it is correct. The Answer is : Ask The Wizard is intended to answer questions, not to provide a path for requesting the creation of command procedures for specific tasks. Further, the Wizard is not in a position to answer questions with schedules as tight as one day's notice. If you need this level of service, and particularly with your specified schedule, please consider hiring a contractor familiar with OpenVMS. The Wizard would recommend acquiring a book on writing DCL command procedures -- _Writing Real Programs in DCL_ is one of the available books that covers this topic in some detail. _Writing Real Programs in DCL_ is available from Digital Press (http://www.bh.com/). Also available in the OpenVMS manual set is the OpenVMS User's Manual, as well as the DCL dictionary.
