how to send an email from jcl in mainframe system

If your site has SMTP set up, you use SMTP to send the email. This is a question where you MUST talk to the site support group -- SMTP requires a writer class parameter and started task name parameter, both of which vary from site to site and what works at my site probably won't work for your site. And if they don't have SMTP installed, they probably have another product installed to handle emails and they would, again, be the ones to know the details.

hey folks,
if smtp is running on your system, you can things like this:

//IEBGENER EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD *
helo smtp
mail from:<x.y§abc.com>
rcpt to:<a.by§abc.com>
data
date: 30 jan 04 14:48:47 +0200
from:<x.y§abc.com>
to:<a.b§abc.com>
subject: a mail

/*
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(Z,SMTPSERV), <- depends on your smt defintions
// DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80,RECFM=F,DSORG=PS)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A

anything is working in z/os, file attachement, mime and so on.
