I have a vb6 application which uses FTP to send JCL to an MVS/390 mainframe system. Periodically it issues the following command:

  dirCall = ftpSess.Listing.Text

to get the status of the job from the job entry subsystem on the mainframe. It has worked great for nearly 2 years and now something has changed, only we can't figure out what. Intermittently, it seems to drop the FTP connection, and my vb application errors out. It may check the status of a job using the above code 25 or 30 times, and then suddenly die. Every occurrence seems to be a little different. It is not readily reproducible or predictable, but the frequency is increasing. We are having a very difficult time tracking down the exact source of the problem. My mainframe systems people want me to find out if there is a way to get something more than what trace gives us. They are asking for a listing of the EZ- messages which are generated by TCP/IP during the FTP process. Is there anyway to do this that you are aware of?

I did not send the entire snippet of code. It should be:

ftpSess.List
dirCall = ftpSess.Listing.Text


I hope you can help us. Our users are in desperate need of a solution.
