Until now our site's use of email from the mainframe has been very limited, due to security concerns.
However I am not to be allowed to use email in a limited way. The JCL I was told to use was //S16DBNA1 JOB (XO,005,0099,1,0),NAT,NOTIFY=&SYSUID, // TIME=(001,39),CLASS=O, // REGION=5M /*JOBPARM SYSAFF=BL1A //IEBGENER EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT1 DD * HELO N1 MAIL FROM:<HILIRI_HORVITZE@SNIFIM.BLROOT<mailto:HILIRI_HORVITZE@SNIFIM.BLROOT>> RCPT TO:<HILARY_H@SNIFIM.BLROOT<mailto:HILARY_H@SNIFIM.BLROOT>> DATA SUBJECT:SUBJECT LINE HALLO . THIS IS EMAIL FROM THE MAINFRAME. BYE . . QUIT /* //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP) //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=V //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=V But I have a few problems with this. If the email fails the job ends with a 0, and until a rejection email arrives back to me, I have no idea of problems. I have a feeling we have a hole in the knowledge of our tcp people here. Is this the way to work ? Surely the job should be able to know if the email was sent? I came from VSE environment where we were given responses. Is this the best way to send emails ? What am I missing ? Hilary PS the jcl above works with no problems, so don't try and debug it please ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
