Please try to remember to unlock your Caps...... :o
You could try to hide the destination in a symbolic.....that might fool the checker....

Hello Tzadik,

Is your question about this particlar jcl/dest or sending an e-mail from the mainframe in general?

It is quite common to send an e-mail from the mainframe.
Hope this helps,

Well, it looked like the person's question was never answered, so I'm wondering if this technique works. I'd certainly be interested in other techniques that work instead.

We use SAS. Of course, all that's required to send an SMTP message is some basic Socket programming.

Can that be done in COBOL?

Hello,

You could try to hide the destination in a symbolic.....that might fool the checker....
That was the suggestion to get around the error. TS has not replied. . .

Can that be done in COBOL?
Yes, code to use sockets can be written in cobol, but many/most mainframe e-mails are simply sent from a batch tso job.
Hope this helps,

I have tried sending emails through JCL. Though my job end with MAXCC = 0, i am not receiving mails. Do i need to check some MVS configuration?

Can any one give me more information?

Thanks,
Nazish.

Hi nazishmirekar,

some setup needs to be done at SMTP to allow your email. You may need to check with your system admin (STG) people who deals with the email id creation, maintenance etc.. even i had this problem in one of my projects and i approached the STG people they did some configuration setup (which I am not aware) and it worked after that... Probably you need to check with them... This is my suggestion..

may be you can hear better solutions from others...

Regards,
Jayind
