Add some info for email via JCL

Question

community!

I 've got an interesting question. I write a small jcl, which xmit file to another email. XMIT Is it possible to add some information to email, such as subj?

Can you post the JCL you are using to send the email? Usually it is possible to add a subject line to an email sent from z/OS via a batch job. — Steve Ives, Jun 07 '16 at 16:12
Have you thought to consult the documentation? `tso xmit command email` — Bill Woodger, Jun 07 '16 at 16:17
Or if it is small, look at XmitIp package (download from http://www.lbdsoftware.com/tcpip.html) — Bruce Martin, Jun 07 '16 at 22:55

Yes, but exactly how will depend upon your system e.g. here is an email job from my previous company:

    //jobname JOB (acct_no),'EMAIL',    
    //         MSGCLASS=X,
    //         NOTIFY=&SYSUID
    //*
    //********************************************************************
    //*                                                                  *
    //* EMAIL STEP                                                       *
    //* ADDRDD KEEPS DISTRIBUTION LIST                                   *
    //* MESSGDD KEEPS EMAIL TEXT                                         *
    //* ATTACHDD KEEPS ATTACHMENT FILE                                   *
    //*                                                                  *
    //********************************************************************
    //EMAIL    EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B
    //SYSEXEC  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.TCPIP.SMTP.CEXEC
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
    //ADDRDD   DD *
    To someone@somedomain.com
    //MESSGDD  DD *
    Here is the text of my email.
    Here is some more text.
    //ATTACHDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=my.attached.dataset
    //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
    //SYSTSIN  DD *
    %XMITIP * +
    SUBJECT 'My email subject' +
    ADDRESSFILEDD ADDRDD +
    MSGDD MESSGDD + 
    FILEDD ATTACHDD

You look to be using XmitIp (which is a good option for small files). Xmitip if not already installed can be downloaded from http://www.lbdsoftware.com/tcpip.html — Bruce Martin, Jun 07 '16 at 22:54
//XMIT EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=6M
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD DSN=HIQUAL.TRANSMIT,DISP=SHR
I 've write this code, where transmit file contains: TRANSMIT DOmain.AKALIACH DSN('hiqual.TEMP2')
I just try to modify this code with subject — Andrei Kaliachka, Jun 08 '16 at 09:16
@AndreiKaliachka - XMIT on the mainframe is purely for sending files to another system; it is not a replacement for email and does not have a subject. XMITIP is different from XMIT, as it *is* an email program. — Steve Ives, Jun 08 '16 at 09:21
