Hi

I have a query,

While Monitoring the Production jobs when a job gets abended i need to capture the job in the Mainframe screen using VB script to throw the abended job in a message box. I have done with Macros to get the abended job, but still not able to fix how to throw the the abended job in a message Box.
Will someone help me in doing this?

Kolusu,
I think, he is talking about screen scraping.

With SMTP, the only 'problem' that I see is, he would have to modify his jobs to have a step for sending mail. On the other hand, I am sure, there would be some facilities in the job scheduler that could automagically send mails, etc.

It all depends on what emulator he is using and what the screens look like. Personally I would use either PCOMM and EHLLAPI, or Vista with its simple and extremely easy VB like macro language. PComm also supports VB script, I think, but I've never used it. Other options include HACL (PCOMM and HOD), and I'm sure many other emulators have programmable interfaces. I run a robot against SDSF to kill certain things using this technique (Vista) and have been running a daily report screen scaping app for years using EHALLAPI on PCOMM (via object Rexx).
