Hi,

I dont know about those numbers too. Because that is what i got in the mail (in my mailbox).
I have just copied the whole stuff and done a paste here, so anyone would have come across this kind of mail.

The mail does say about syntax error. Is anything expected after the "DATA" word?
Even i removed the "DATA" word and entered another statement. But still i get the same error.

thanks

Hello,

Suggest you copy this
HELO ABC
MAIL FROM: <alex@gmail.com>
RCPT TO: <alex@gmail.com>
DATA
TO: <alex@gmail.com>
FROM: "Alex"<alex@gmail.com>
SUBJECT: HELLO
THIS IS A TEST MAIL
.
into a PS fb file with lrecl 80. Note the period on the last line. Use this PS as the SYSUT1 dataset.

It appears that line and/or sequence numbers may be in the input, which makes things invalid.

If this experiment works, you need to resolve the unwanted numbers in the current process.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

When you have a new question that relates to some old, dormant topic, it is best to start a new to start a new topic and refer to the old topic.

but when i append it to any of the JCL,
How is this "appended"?

You need to post the actual job submitted (copy/paste - not rekeyed) along with the diagnostic information presented.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

And it did NOT "throw" a syntax error, it GAVE a syntax error or "YOU GOT" a syntax error or it "FAILED" with a syntax error. Nothing on the mainframe "throws" anything unless it is running Java or C on USS.

Also, please learn to use the "code-tags". Plenty of references throughout the forum on how to do this. I have 'coded' the relevant part of your post and the original post in this topic.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
Regards
Nic

SMTP is independent of the platform. If the JCL you are appending this to has line numbers, and the SMTP commands pick up line numbers as a result, you WILL get syntax errors since SMTP sees the line numbers as part of its commands.
