CSSMTP DRIVER IGNORES FILENAME ON OUTPUT STATEMENT USERDATA
 
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Parameters specified on the OUTPUT statement USERDATA parameter are ignored by the CSSMPT print driver.
 
SYMPTOMS:
None of the information on the OUTPUT statement USERDATA parameter is used by the CSSMTP print driver.
 
IMPACT:
The missing USERDATA information causes unexpected results.  For example, if FILENAME=ABC.PDF is specified in order to receive the Spool file data as a PDF attachment, the data will be delivered in the email body instead.
