Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

I'm using SMTP parameters and IEBGENER to send the e-mail from zOS box to windows. But I think, it's not IEBGENER which sends the e-mail, it's rather the SMTP parameter which are being copied from SYSUT1 to SYSUT2, is that correct?

If yes, does that mean any utility with copy capabilities will be able to send e-mail, provided I've used correct SMTP parameters.

As long as the SMTP parameters are correctly specified, you can get them to SMTP any way you want -- IEBGENER, DITTO, SORT, or even a COBOL (or other language) program.

Thanks Robert. I got it working with SORT too, though the colleagues were not ready to accept the fact you talked about.
