2 attachments JCL

So I'm sending an email with 2 attachments/files. All I had to do was insert a period after the first file specification (in my email control card) then specify the next file. After that it read the 2 files separately and a successful email w/ 2 attachments was sent.

It worked the first time.. now when I submit my JCL again it only reads the first file and sends 1 attachment/file.

I'm confused???? I didn't make any changes to the control card. What could the problem be??

Thanks in advance!

Please show the JCL and control cards.

Control card B, Control Card A, JCL
Control card C literally just has a period in it

Please go forward avoid attachment and just simple paste the code and select that and use code tag to tag it.

I think all you did to fix was to concats another dot at the end , is that right ?

So I'm using the IDz application and all I did was add 2 backslashes and a space in my second control card before specifying my next attachment in order to output 2 separate attachments within the email.

--SIMPLE BOUNDARY
CONTENT-TYPE: TEXT/PLAIN
CONTENT-DISPOSITION: ATTACHMENT; FILENAME='Your file name.extension'

Hope this helped.
