copy/ftp to with wildcard source

[n***@metso.com]

Is there a way to do in a procedure:
$COPY/FTP ... remote:..partialname_*.txt *

(In this case the rest of the string is a date_stamp and varies,
especially on the weekend)?

This is equivalent to
mget remote:..partialname_*.txt

but without the prompt and YorN responses.

Or is there another way to do this blind from batch?

You can do it with ftp and a take file -

$ ! ftp example procedure using a take file
$ create take.file
verbose
exit-on-error on
mget *.txt
exit
$ !
$ mu ftp /user=corbett/pass=N1K0NBROKEN/take=take.file alcor.process.com
$ !
$ exit

Norm -

I'd suggest changing the to build a second procedure which is then
executed by the existing procedure. To build the second procedure, use
f$search (in a loop?) to find the exact names of the file(s) that you
want to transfer and create precise copy/ftp lines from that.
