HI,

I am trying to findout diffeent options in the notify parameter in the job statement. Normally we will be provideing NOTIFY=userid...
Is it possible to notify more than one user at a time. If yes can you tell me how to do that?

I dont think we have an option to notify multiple users with NOTIFY.

Instead you can try to run multiple dummy jobs (One for each user) and have them notify different users.

Hello,

No, only one id may be notified.

No. This would prove nothing and notify no one anything useful - there is only 1 "real" job. It would also introduce a lot of clutter for no value.

An e-mail could be sent to multiple id's but this also is more of a waste. Between the scheduling software and the Producton Support group, anything concerning an abend should be already dealt with. Production should be set up to run correctly so there should be no need for this "notify" every time a job completes successfully.

Hi,

Try adding this step in your JOB, might be with some combination of COND parameter -
Code:
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01                               
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSTSIN DD *                                           
  SEND 'message' USER(RACFID1,RACFID2,RACFID3) LOGON
//*
