Hi,

I am using a CICS Module.
I want to send Notifications to my email id whenever the Module throws error. Is there any way to send email via CICS.

Thanks

Why, by grace, do You want to setup such a complicated environment,

is that an application requirement or just a whim ??

what kind of abends do You want to intercept...

if they are planned/programmed abends no need to be bothered

Hi,

Yes this is a requirement. The idea is whenever any Timeouts occurs, or Any Severity errors like mandatory data is missing , we need a notification.

Thanks

Hello,

If the system uses database, you might simply log an entry into a table that you implement to keep track of errors (many systems already have such a table).

If you must actually send an e-mail, you can do as suggested and submit jcl thru the internal reader (unless your site has prohibited this) and in that jcl send the email.

If you search in the forum, you will find examples of using the internal reader as well as jcl to send an e-mail.
