Can we send e-mail using CICS?
Hi,
In a CICS program, I need to send notifications to my email id whenever there is error in the CICS Module. I understand that this is somewhat not very realistic approach as if there is a system abend I think program won't be able to send the e-mail but in other scenarios, is there any way to send email in CICS? Thank you.

Yes. Have your CICS system programmer set up a TDQ that points to a DD name defined in the JCL as SYSOUT=(?,??) where ? is the appropriate sysout class and ?? is the name of the SMTP started task at your site. The data your CICS program writes to the TDQ must be formatted appropriately with the SMTP requirements.

You might also want to look at: CA1Y: Send email from CICS Transaction Server for z/OS.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Not to confuse myself, both the methods suggested here are different...right and should be implemented differently?

Yes, they are different methods. Each is right for some circumstances. Which you use will depend upon your site, what is available, and what the site standards are.
