Hi I have following requirement can any one please help me achieve this.

I have a Job which extracts required details from data base and creates a report.
This report will be sent as an attachment to given business email id.
The SMTP dataset contenets are as below :
Code:

HELO MAINFRAME.domain.com
HELO MAINFRAME.domain.com
MAIL FROM: <SMTP@MAINFRAME.domain.com>                                         
RCPT TO:   <rctp email id>                                               
                                   
DATA                                                                           
FROM:     From IT Team
TO:       rctp email id
SUBJECT: Database Error Report                                               
MIME-VERSION:1.0                                                               
CONTENT-TYPE:MULTIPART/MIXED;BOUNDARY="SIMPLE BOUNDARY"                         
--SIMPLE BOUNDARY                                                               
CONTENT-TYPE:TEXT/HTML;                                                         
<BR>                                                                           
Please find attached details of errors received on policies found in the      current month .                         
<BR><BR>                                                                       
Please arrange for these errors to be corrected in the source system before 27th of every month .       
--SIMPLE BOUNDARY
CONTENT-TYPE:TEXT/PLAIN; NAME="Error Report&Month&Year.CSV"
CONTENT-TRANSFER-ENCODING: "UTF-8"
CONTENT-DISPOSITION: ATTACHMENT; FILENAME=" Error Report &Month&Year.CSV"


Here Is it possible to Substitute '&Month&Year' using OPC . If yes , please advice how?
If not by OPC , Is there any other by which I can embed the current month and year in file name.

Thanks.

You need to speak with the people responsible for OPC (TWS) to find out the variable names in use that match the required format.

Usually site specific, so not sure that we can help much further.

You can find it all here : TWS Managing the Workload

But follow expat's suggestion (ask the TWS/OPC people)
cause your question shows you dont know that much about TWS/OPC.

What exactly I need to know is , How do I substitue OPC variables from within the data set.
The mail contant which i have given above is going to be inside one dataset and the corresponsing JCL step for the same would be following SMTP step :
Code:

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                                         
//SYSUT1   DD   DSN=ABCD.REPORT.EMAILP1,DISP=SHR       
//         DD   DSN=EFGH.RJCT.REPORT.LATEST,DISP=SHR         
//SYSUT2   DD   SYSOUT=(B,SMTP),DEST=GBNUHON1                       
//SYSIN    DD   DUMMY                                               
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                                             
 


The mail content which i have posted earlier will be the content of data set : ABCD.REPORT.EMAILP1. Hope I am clear now.

only thing you are clear about is that you are going to do something without working with your site support people.

no wonder that we have so many posts by people who
want to do it their way, and have no intention of dealing with their site support,
who essentially make the rules.

If you should have read in the manual the part about variable substitution
or talked to your TWS/OPC people you should have known that what you want (substitution IN a dataset) is not possible.

So this will be my last comment on this topic.

There are, I believe, examples using sort that do what you want. Search in the part of the forum suitable for your flavour of sort.

jumana haseen,

As Nic said above, it is possible to have a sort pass to have the respective fields replaced by current month/year. Try it and get back to us if you are stuck up somewhere.
