Hi, Two of our Automation Suite products, SyzCMD/z (command scripting) and SyzMPF/z (Console monitor) send both EMAIL and SMS text messages of any content, (one example is that we send automatic EMAIL or TEXT messages when a job ends (or any event happens) that contains all of the step condition codes, programs used, start/stop times, any dynamically generated text and much more (it's currently patent pending but we've been shipping it for quite a while with over 300 customers), and the products cost roughly 10% of the IBM or CA products. I know that when we send the "EMAIL" messages to Google mail ID's that people can have it read to them from Google Mail and several other email clients will read the message (just like as if it was sent via voice).
The big advantage to sending via text (and not voice) is that we can show a lot of data (sysout, JCL, etc) and nice graphs and tables, which would be VERY difficult to do verbally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
