Re: Send email on program halt

MONJOBMSGW is pretty easy to implement and has no effect on anything else in the system. Last place I worked used it and I believe still does. Only drawback might be printers that have paper handling messages that need a reply and you don't want to be called in the middle of the night while the warehouse is loading paper. But you can specify up to 50 jobs to be ignored to get around that.

Code is all CL and you could probably tweak if you want something special.

We do several things. We have a modified version of MONJOBMSGW running
that will send emails out for some jobs. We also have one off jobs that
get submitted from the jobs we want to monitor that use QUSRJOBI to
check the job every so often. JOBA submits JOBB and passes it the job
name, number, and user, and then JOBB loops around every so often
calling QUSRJOBI with JOBI0200 as the format. Check position 51 in the
returned data for *ACTIVE to make sure the job is still running. If it's
not, we end the monitor job. Check position 108 for MSGW (or whatever
other status you need to monitor for) and do what you need to do to
notify someone.

Subject: Send email on program halt

We want to send an email if our nightly closing/backup stops on any kind
of error. I thought about monitoring for CPF0000 but I think that will
prevent the job from stopping with a MSGW. I still want the job to stop
with MSGW on the line where the error occurred, I just need some
facility to notice that a MSGW condition exists and send an email. Any
suggestions?
