Subject:      Filename FTP timeing-out on Z/OS tapemount?

 I am using FILENAME FTP to feed a large file that resides on z/OS tape
 to a batch SAS DATASTEP running on a PC.  Every thing works fine until
 the tape robot needs to mount a new tape. Then the job hangs. The SAS
 log never completes and the SAS dataset that is being produced remains
 locked.

 I suspect that FTP is timing-out, but I don't know how to fix the problem.

 Thanks for any help you can give.

 Dave
