Issue/Introduction

How include a list of email recipients in a CA Spool printer definition? There is no enough room in the FADDRESx or DRIVPRMx keywords to contain a big list of email addresses.

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : CA Spool

Resolution

Suggested using use the MAILBOOK keyword to be able to include a bigger list of recipients. This requires the allocation of a MAILLIB PDS file in case you still don't have one. 

 Follow this procedure: 

 1) Allocate a PDS with the following attributes: 

Record format . . . : VB 

Record length . . . : 259 

Block size . . . . : 27998 

 2) Include a DD statement MAILLIB in the CA Spool started task JCL pointing to this library: 

 //MAILLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=prefix.MAILLIB,DISP=SHR 

 3) Create a member in this PDS with a list of SMTP commands. In this case a list of TO and CC recipients: 

 [email protected] 

 [email protected] 

 [email protected] 

 [email protected] 

4) In DESTID definition point to this member using the MAILBOOK keyword: 

 DESTID QDEST=TESTSMTP,FADDRES1='FILENAME=&FNM.TXT', 

 FADDRES2='MAILBOOK=membername', 

 FADDRES3='SUBJECT=TEST CASPOOL' 

 Where membername is the name of the member of the PDS where the TO and CC keywords are defined.
