Why is code getting corrupted running FTP batch within the same REXX? 

Environment

Easytrieve VSE 6.3; Running zVSE 6.1.

When we run the Easytrieve program without the FTP step, it completes successfully.

An instruction was polluted by FTP ... 

It is recommended to not run multiple FTPBATCH programs in the same REXX as this can cause issues.
