We want to enable FTP on our iSeries. Since FTP is not configured in our server, when we use STRTCPFTP we get the following error message:

Exception CPF3CDB occurred when trying to get information for exit point

QIBM_QTMF_CLIENT_REQ with format name VLRQ0100.

This error maybe the result of invalid exit program name. Use WRKREGINF, put an "8" next to QIBM_QTMF_CLIENT_REQ and see if an exit point program is registered for it. If so, you can use "4" to remove the exit point.
