Hi,
Can someone please tell me how can we send an email using a JCL automatically, in case job is not completed on time and it has missed the SLA. In doing so I need to fetch the job completion time? I was not sure about the answer, how can we do it, please help on this.

Enrico, interview question. He may not have an Ops Support group to speak to.

still
the forum will tell how to write a step to send an email
but
in case job is not completed on time and it has missed the SLA.
it will be difficult to find out with a simple jcl step
if I were the interviewer
the answer
" I would speak to operations support to find the capabilities of the job scheduler"
would have got many many more quality points

Yes I also told about using IEBGENER steo to send the email but I was not sure how to capture the completion time of the job. Thanks for the answer that the scheduler should be able to help in this.

Available starting in z/OS 2.3 will be the // NOTIFY JCL statement which will send job status to an email address. It won't help with SLA, of course, since an SLA is not fixed but depends upon the contract.
