Issue/Introduction

Yes.

CLIP2 and CLIP9 are prime candidates for sending email notification for required authorizations and completion/failure notification. Here is an example using SMTP to send email notification:

//    SET REQUESTNO = '&ASRRID.SUBRF'<<F,L>>  
//    SET SUBBY = '&PCLUSERID'<<F,L>>         
//    SET SUBNAME = '&ASRRID.SUBNM'<<F,L>>    
//    SET SUBDATE = '&ASRRID.REQDT'<<F,L>>    
//    SET SUBDD = '&SUBDATE'<<F+4,F+5>>       
//    SET SUBMM = '&SUBDATE'<<F+2,F+3>>       
//    SET SUBYY = '&SUBDATE'<<F,F+1>>
//    SET RCPT = '[email protected]'        
//EMAIL    EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                                  
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                       
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                       
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY                                          
//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)                                
//SYSUT1   DD  *,FORMAT=(,SUB)
