Re: Send email on program halt

Hello James

We use STRWCH to monitor specific MSGs and call a Watch Program that
sends mail and (via Mail2SMS service) SMSs when these MSGs occur .
We developed it for night time batch jobs but it operates around the clock.
These "Watches" are loaded in QSTRUP PGM.
example:
SBMJOB CMD(STRWCH SSNID(WATCH_MSG1) +
WCHPGM(QGPL/WATCH_PGM1) + WCHMSG((RNQ0231 *NONE *MSGDTA *ALL
*GE + 00) (RNQ0232 *NONE *MSGDTA *ALL *GE 00) +
(RNQ1216 *NONE *MSGDTA *ALL *GE 00) + (RNQ0102 *NONE *MSGDTA
*ALL *GE 00) + (RNQ0121 *NONE *MSGDTA *ALL *GE 00)))
+ JOB(STRWATCH) JOBQ(QSYS/QUSRNOMAX) + USER(AS400)


IBM uses many such Watches - use WRKWCH WCH(*ALL) to see all.
Try WRKWCH WCH(*STRWCH) to see your "private" Watches only.

If you want code samples let me know and I'll e-mail you.

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?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
