I found that for our version of MVS at least, using a DOS window to invoke the FTP and then using the "REMOTEHELP SITE" command that the allowed parameters are

SITE RECFM=recfm LRECL=lrecl SPACE(m,n) RLSE

seems to work. The "HELP SITE" command did not return enough information to be help full.

The "SITE HELP" command returns a message saying the "HELP" is not a valid site command.


Thanks for your help.
