Greetings All,
Just had a production abend of SMTP. One of our application programmers
ran a job to email a few (1.2 million) records to a customer. SMPT crashed,

In addition to everything that has been said by the other posters already ...
Even if you change SMTP to be able to handle this large email size, other mail

Possible solutions are:

Can anyone give me an idea what kind of rates are being offered around
the country for an experienced (20+ years) z/OS system programmer?
It would be helpful if you would
Only rarely will I venture to disagree with Gil, but here goes -
You don't need JCL to build C, C++, Java or even assembler on z/OS.
We do all of our source development on Linux (using an IDE; Eclipse,
but any will do), and then to build we incrementally push changed
source files via Ant with
Hi Ulrich,
We used to have PKZIP, but lost it to the budget woes.
I also found out that the LRECL on the file was 2300 bytes - clearly
not something that should/could be emailed. Our network sysprog also found
