Re: SCRT Copy List
IIRC, we were using email but were told he had to convert to the interactive web submission. We did. Later, we applied to use the email again to have a way to submit when the web process failed. That was long ago, but we have heard nothing to date. OBTW, we also email the CSV to ourselves for vetting and approval. We used to simply forward the email, but now someone has to intervene. Not a big deal, just annoying and an opportunity for error. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Greg Shirey Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 9:35 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: SCRT Copy List I think you're right about IBM not wanting customers to *completely* automate the submission process, but Dave did not suggest that - he said he runs the SCRT program and emails the result to himself so he can check it.

Re: SCRT Copy List
Somewhere on the SCRT website they state that the email list cannot be saved for future use. I just get the copy sent to me an forward it. -Original Message- Kelman, Tom I was wondering if anyone has tried to save a list of name to copy when the SCRT reports are sent to IBM.
