Hi Neeraj,

You need to specify boundries as below. Try it.

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=B,DEST=SMTP
//SYSUT1 DD *
helo JESNDIXA
mail from:<XXXXXX@JESNDIXA>
rcpt to:<XXXXXXX@XXXXX.COM >
data
From: MAINFRAME
To: XXXXXXXX@XXXXXX.com
Subject: Test attachment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="simple boundary"
--simple boundary
CONTENT-TYPE: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET="US-ASCII"
CONTENT-TRANSFER-ENCODING: 7BIT
Hello,
Please find a test email with attachment sent via SMTP:

BOUNDARY="SIMPLE BOUNDARY"
--SIMPLE BOUNDARY

This code sends the data as a text attachment:

Hi Robert,
Thanks for Reply.
Can you please let me know that what the control cards are containing? below are the control cards you have coded in your jcl.

Robert Sample · Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:19 pm

The data in TTSSRS0.JCL.CNTL(EMAILATT) becomes the attachment. The EMAILAT member is a single period on a line by itself (required by RFC 2821).

Hi,

I have 3 reports to send daily. Ihave coded such that to attach a single report. But i am unable to attach all the three report in a single mail. Do any one have an idea on this? Please advise

Any positive resolutions????

If i try to include
"Hello,
Please find a test email with attachment sent via SMTP:
"

I am not getting in mail. if i try with alternate way it's coming in the attachement itself. Please advise.

I have tried the above approach and the report is appearing in the body of the e-mail not as an attachment. Also, this only works if the dataset to be sent is 80 bytes, if it is 133 as any report I get a JCL error.

If you're concatenating datasets, make sure you follow the rules of concatenation (they should all have the same RECFM and LRECL) in your job ...

Hello Jack and welcome to the forum,

It will probably help if you post the jcl/control statements used along with the actual error message(s) and the id's that go with them. . .

When posting jcl, code, etc, it is best to use copy/paste and the "Code" tag (top center of the reply panel). Use Preview see how your post will appear to the forum and when you are satisfied, Submit.

Please do not attach screenshots. . .

I've got someone at work that uses this format to send 998-byte records. The SYSUT1 DD statement points to a DSNAME with LRECL=998, and the concatenated files are both LRECL=998. This works fine in production every day for us. The MAIL FROM and RCPT TO fields are different but they and the other statements are all part of the LRECL=998 dataset.

Where's all of the MIME protocol code? All I see is the SMTP protocol code. There looks to be a lot missing, unless it's included in one of the concatenated datasets.

MIME protocol code??? Please provide sample

To find out what the HELO means, pull up the IETF document RFC 2821 and read it. This document gives you the exact specifications for Internet emails and the different options there of. Google can help you find it.

How do you know the mail has not been sent? Since you obfuscated the precise email address, I recommend you contact your site support group and have them check the SMTP job output to see if your email did, indeed, get sent. Note that having the email go out of the mainframe does not mean you will see it at <mailid2>. That would depend upon whether the mail server was set up appropriately to handle mainframe emails. You really, really, really must get site support people involved to resolve this since there are a number of areas where an email can go awry and only they can help you figure out what is going on.

Hello,

In addition to what Robert mentioned, it may be that the mail was sent, but was denied some way (treated as junk, deleted, rejected, etc) by the receiving e-mail system.

Hi,

I was able to use the code to send an email with attachement as a Text file. Now, my requirement is as follows:
I have a huge MS word document (around 20 MB) which was compressed using ZIP and then FTP'ed to a mainframe dataset in Binary format.
I want an email to be sent with the MS Word doc (or the ZIP file) as an attachment. Can this be done thru JCL ?

Please let me know if it can be done thru any other means.

Thanks,
Srinivas
