SMTP JCL

Postby jaggz » Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:00 pm

Hi,

I prepared a jcl program for sending an email from mainframe to my personal email account. Below was the jcl and after submission i got a return code of 00.
Even after the successful return code i am unable to receive email from mainframe. could you please explain me the reason for not receiving the email from mainframe.

No such thing as a 'jcl program' even though the L in jcl does stand for Language the J and C stand for Job and Control. JCL provides a means of telling the OS what program you want to run and what resources it needs.

I know very little about FTP from mainframe but there are several posts about doing this. Have you searched for them?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Sorry for wrong representation of JCl as program. I searched it and found that the SMTP server has to be configured accordingly for recieving the email from mainframes. Here in our shop it is prohibited due to policy.

So you could have saved some time by searching first, as the rules state that you should. Oh well, it is your time wasted.

Even if not a policy issue, your SMTP commands are not coded as per RFC 2821 and RFC 2822 (hint: Google is your friend). For example, without a DATA command there will be no email sent, period.

HI Jaggz,

I am new to Mainframe field, but few days before I was working with one of my senior regarding SMTP.
As per my knoweldge your JCL doesnt doesnt have the key word DATA.

//A255209J JOB MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=T,
// REGION=5M,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//IEBGENER EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD *

//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//....

I'm not pretty much sure whether this will produce desired result, please just take a look at this and also you have to do some SMTP configurations....

Friend suggest me if there's any mistake
