Re: Send email from MVS cobol

Another option is, from inside your program, you write the "email output" to
a dd with SMTP as the form..

Such as:

//OUTPUTDD DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)

Have an interesting challenge. I have a requirement that dictates
that email be sent from an MVS (z/OS) cobol program. In
oversimplified terms, this means that I'd read a file that would
contain email addresses and based on various criteria send email to any
number of those addresses. I know how to send email from JCL, but
require more precision than JCL can give me.

I'm guessing your problem is how to run an unknown number of JCL or
procs from the output of your CoBOL extract program. Is this
correct?
