Either the job stops, or the job doesn't stop (and sends an email).

You'd need an external process that monitors for the MSGW and sends an
email.

A possible alternative is to MONMSG (ie trap the error), in the DO()
send the email and then re-throw the exception.

I thought about this but couldn't come up with a satisfactory way to do it. Many programs are called during the execution of the daily close and I'd want execution to stop at the original point of execution of the error.

the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
