Note that in line 12 we used the “//”, which terminates the list of all recipients (a shortcut) and ends the command. This saved a few blank lines but the blank lines could also have been used. The “////” would not normally be used in batch mode, as it cancels the message entirely, even cancelling any recipients al- ready entered. (It corresponds to the “CANCEL MESSAGE”

function key.)

By implementing NetMail/3000 JCL in a job stream, a message can easily be generated when a program successfully completes, or aborts, or any other special criteria verifiable from a batch job. “IF”...”THEN” conditions can be used to send messages in special situations, and the “;URGENT” parameter can be added to the “SEND” command even in batch mode to signify crit- ical messages. (In fact, any of the SEND parameters can be used, including “;PURGE”, “;REPLY”, “;REPLY3”, or “REPLY4”.)

As a more detailed example, here’s a job stream that uses MPEX to check for files that haven’t been accessed in 30 or more days and sends a mail message to the owner (MGR) listing the files and asking him/her to review the files. (Just to be annoying, we send it as an URGENT message.)

!JOB CHEKFILE,MGR.ACCT1,PUB !purge filelist,temp

!build filelist;rec=-80,,f,ascii;disc=3000;TEMP !file x=filelist,oldtemp;acc=append

!file y=filelist,oldtemp

!MPEX “LISTF @.@(ACCDATE<TODAY-30&CREATOR=’MGR’),2;*X”

!IF MPEXNUMSUCCEEDED>0 THEN

!CONTINUE

!RUN NETMAIL.SYS.THREEK;INFO=”SEND;URGENT” A Files created by MGR that haven’t been accessed in 30+ days
