Sorry in advance for the blatant plug.  You can do this automatically with our 
Syzygy Automation software.  It can be built in to the job itself as a step 
with SyzCMD/z, or it can be automatically generated at the end of the job with 
SyzMPF/z.  Both of them would use SyzEmail/z to actually send the email.  

You can get more information on the web site at www.SyzygyInc.com or you can 
send me an email offline.

You probably want a solution that sends mail direct to your corporate 
emil system rather than setting something up to handle mail on z/OS. 
Connecting using TLS is probably also desirable or required.


I would do it using Java. I wrote up an example a long time ago here:

https://www.blackhillsoftware.com/news/2017/06/21/sending-email-from-zos-using-java/

There are a few changes I would make based on what I know now, but the 
basics are there. There will be plenty of examples on the internet 
showing how to add attachments to an email from Java.

Will you be able to translate it first to text for the PC it is 
going to?


Do you have have an email server on z/OS?  (SMTP?).

If you do, I think you can build a destination list and have it 
sent to all those emails in the list.


We did things like this from z/OS and z/VM in the last shop I was 
working in.


And we did a lot of csv output from|via MICS|MXG.

I know nothing about SMTPNOTE, but "using only one specification of the To 
value" isn't the same as "only one recipient allowed".  If the To value is 
"x...@domain.com; y...@gmail.com; z...@yahoo.com", that's one specification but 
three recipients.

I cast my vote with Lionel, for XMITIP.  It has an easy interface, but I tended 
more to call it with REXX and munge it to my heart's content

I see: 
Guidelines:
When the To, Cc, Subject, or Dataset parameters are specified more than 
once,
the SMTPNOTE application uses the last value that was specified. No error
messages are generated if there are duplicate parameters on the command 
line.

So, only one recipient.  The OP asked for "a list".  And:
Restriction: Do not use extended attribute data sets (PDSE) with the 
SMTPNOTE command.

??? Why?  And what about zFS files?

And no mention of attachments.

Even Microsoft does better.

Consider implementing/using z/OS utility SMTPNOTE.

Must the user supply MIME headers?  In an example I see:
 MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/csv; charset=UTF-8; name="Example.csv"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Financial Sample.csv"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Must the user specify input CCSID (IBM-037, 500, 1047, ...)?
Will XMITIP recognize the CCSID of a tagged zFS file?

Will XMITIP convert to UTF-8, then to base64?

The user must be  authorized (site, not RACF) to have XMITIP.

Or, IND$FILE to desktop and email from there.  (Do any sites
disable IND$FILE?)

Use XMITIP assuming you have CSSMTP enabled and active on your system.  The
CSV will arrive as an attachment that they can click on to open and use.
This can easily be a step within your job.
