For MAILIT is not technically required. This works fine too:
'EXEC MAILIT TO([email protected]) ....
Using a NAMES file makes it easier to change the people that should be
warned.
For example, we've got a SUPPORT NAMES file on a public disk::
SUPPORT NAMES Y2 V 255 Trunc=255 Size=30 Line=1 Col=1 Alt
====>
* In this file we will place the users that have to be informed
* by some service execs.
*
*** Used by SRVFLHTP EXEC (in SYSDUMP1)
:nick.FLASHCOPY :[email protected]
[email protected]
*** Used by SIGNVSE EXEC (in VMUTIL), and .....
:nick.IbmSupport :[email protected]
Then in your EXEC, you could code
'EXEC MAILIT TO FlashCopy NAMESFILES SUPPORT Subject(Problem xyz with
FlashCopy) ....
