Hi,

I am using the utility EZACFSM1 in my job. I have to email files with the current time appended to the filename. when i uses IEBGENER with the file name in SYSIN DD *, it seems to work fine. But i need to use a PS file.

Example of what i am using

Could you show how you build the contents of TEST.EMAIL so we know how you'd add the date to it?

This is how TEST.EMAIL looks like

This is the entire JCL.

clear up the conflict between Your neurons and start posting properly
what has the FTP step You posted to do with the complaint about wrong email

the two steps You posted at run time are completely unrelated

the first step will run an FTP step with the <parameters> changed by the
EZA... process

the second step will email the content of the input without any modification!

Enrico,

I posted the entire JCL because it was asked for. The 2 steps are definitely not related. the first step does an FTP. the 2nd step is for email. My requirement is to customize it no doubt.

Now the problem here is i cannot customize it in the SYSIN DD * of the JCL as it is of 80 byte LRECL. The server link with the file name goes beyond 80 byte. So i would have preferred to have it in the PS file. Is there anyway of customizing the file name with the current time in PS file? This is the question

do You realize that You are making people waste time ???

You asked one question I replied You with a working solution for what You asked for.

what else do You want now ?

High time for a need of a polite protocol

i am asking if it is possible to have the current time appended to a filename in a physical sequential file which will be emailed.

This question is not answered yet.

Write a program (in the language of your choice) to generate the file name and the rest of the email commands.

Further, you are providing the requirements piecemeal -- your original post did not mention anything about needing a record length more than 80. If you are not willing to provide a complete statement of what you need, what you have tried, and where the things you tried fell short of what you need -- just how do you expect us to read your mind and provide complete solutions?

Finally, did you bother to read the manual? Section 1.2.10.1 of the Communcations Servier: IP Configuration Guide manual includes this extract:

thanks Robert for a humane reply.
My only question was if it was possible to customize the filename in the Physical sequential file through some method.

thank You for the great opportunity You gave me to waste time on writing snippets testing them posting them and trying to explain them to You

Since you do not seem to be interested in actually trying any of the posted solutions, and keep asking the same thing over and over -- I'm locking this topic. Either go try enrico's suggestions, or try SOMETHING on your own, but stop wasting our time by asking and asking and asking without giving us any idea as to what problem you are having.
