Mailing return code as part of e-mail

Hi

My requirement is to include a step in JCL which will mail the return code of the previous step. Could any one please let me know if this is possible...Can the return code from previous step be mailed in the next step?

Please do help...

Thanks
Sowmya

hi,

If there are limited return codes(say 2) expected...it wasn't a bad idea to repeat the Email step twice and based on the return code, you can execute the step.

I need to mail all cases except when the return code is zero.

If you want to mail the actual return code you will need to put it out to a file or something. Most emailers use instream data for the message and this can't be over ridden with parms.

Sowmya, do you know REXX? If so, you can search the forums for an exec named "GETRC" that will allow you to capture the return-code for each previous step of the job from the job's JSCB control blocks. You can then modify this exec as needed to generate the email output as needed for your site.
