Problem when passing FTP user account as a parameter

Hi All

I have a FTP account username as "xyz\abc"

When iam trying to pass my FTP account user name as a parameter in FTP plug-in Stage, the job is getting aborted. When i pass my user-id straight away, the job is running successfully.
Is it a problem because the user-id contains "\" init. Actually what happening is DataStage engine is not considering the "\", when i checked in the log the Error message it is giving as "xyzabc" was unable to login".

Can any one helpme out in this..

Thanks in Advance
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
FTP stage treats \ as an Escape charcter. Give a try with "xyz\\abc".

Hi lstsaur

I tried with this option aswell.. but it is not working.

Actually they created the FTP Account User-id as "xyz/abc"..

Can you give me any more suggestions...

Thanks in Advance
