Re: HealthChecker vs SMTP - 1 : 0
The RFC for SMTP limits it 1024 actually says 1000 not including header/control information. I have run into this when want to using XMITIP with some SPOOL data. I have not had any problems emailing Health Checker reports which are not very wide or output with much longer lines. At one time I used SMTP native but now use XMITIP invoked from IOF (IOFSEND) for most things or XMITIP itself.

Re: HealthChecker vs SMTP - 1 : 0
Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the reality check. I fought my way through
it far enough yesterday to realize that SMTP has a documented
restriction for the dataset of an LRECL of 243 or less (although it will
take up to 250). I used an old friend IEBGENER to truncate the file
from FBA 256 to FB 250 and then sent it via SMTPNOTE. Somewhere along
the way the trailing spaces were removed so the actual email is very
readable.
So I wonder, in all the documentation I have read about HealthChecker I
see suggestions for automation to email the exception reports but from
what I can tell, without tweaking, the reports cannot be sent. Curious
to see what IBM would say about the added complexity built into this
process.

Subject: HealthChecker vs SMTP - 1 : 0
SMTP and HealthChecker do not seem to want to get along. The
HealthChecker HZSPRINT reports are LRECL 256 and SMTP is very snotty
about something so wide. Perhaps it is simply that I am using IEBGENER
to copy the email header data and append the report. Does anyone have
sample JCL they can share to email a HZSPRINIT report?

Hi Sean
I had the same problems, so in the end I wrote a rexx exec to append the
report to the SMTP header stuff:
We have a STC which is invoked at IPL time which writes the output of
HZSPRINT to a GDG.
Here is the JCL:
//HCEMAILEXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='HZSPRINT'
//SYSEXECDD DISP=SHR,DSN=dataset where HZSPRINT rexx lives
//INFILE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS9.HCHK.A02.REPORT(0) == output from
HZSPRINT
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)
