Is it possible to give multiple userid's to notify in the jobcard. Otherwise, how else can this be acheived.

Thanks,
Diba.

No. NOTIFY uses a single user id for notification.

However, you can code a step at the end to notify muktiple users, thus:

Ravi,

Try running the job with IKJEFT1A or IKJEFT1B which will return the return code.

Ravi,

I looked up at your request more closely. You want to format the message. That message you are receiving now is actually hardcoded in the SEND command. The SE is nothing but a send command which is given as input to SYSTSIN DD statement.

So if you really wanted the message like you mentioned , you need to generate the message.

So using the translator utility EZACFSM1 you can generate the message. Remove the Intrdr statement and see how the system symbols are translated.

Ravi,

I just realized that using &HR, &MIN, &SEC will give the GMT time. If you want the local time then you need to use &LHR &LMIN &LSEC where L stands for local.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Of course, Ravi. As I mentioned, I do not know how to pass the return code. Yes, the message that I am sending is just a "message"; definitely nothing to do with the way the reporting of completion of jobs happen. And, I am using SEND command itself! The string 'SE' is an abbreviation for SEND.

The lack of atuhority is strange. You do not have access to do the same in TSO too? Try using TSO SE at command line.

Kolusu,
The generated message still uses hard-coded return code.

One can code the step that I posted above as the last step based on proper COND parameters. This way, the generated message can be sent to multiple users which will automatically convey the meaning.

So, you could get EZACFSM1 working? I could not as I am getting S806 ABEND and, I am too lazy to find the hlq.SEZAsomething PDS where it would be available. Mr. Green

Personally, I think, the excercise to get the MAXCC from previous steps, JOBID etc. should be academic. Job schedulers, $AVRS and other such s/w are meant for this purpose only.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this REXX code before, but here it is again. This will list all of the steps and their return codes for the given job:

Ravi,

The Topic discusses about how to get the job information within the Rexx program?

You may want to check the options within your scheduling package.
I know for sure that Control-M will allow you to notify mulitiple users of successful and unsuccessful job completions.

Hi,

Is it true that using the EZACFSM1 we can create an output dataset with data, time and system names as dataset name?

Any examples please?
