Using the TSO TRANSMIT command to send a mail file

Purpose

Use a TSO TRANSMIT (XMIT) command to send to the spool file a previously constructed mail file that contains SMTP commands to be processed by CSSMTP for one or more mail messages. See SMTP commands for more information about each SMTP command.

Examples

Construct a mail file named MYCSSMTP.NOTE:

Use the XMIT command to put the file userid.MYCSSMTP.NOTE into the JES spool data set:
```
XMIT jesnode.cssmtp1 DA(userid.mycssmtp.note)
```

jesnode: The JES node name or host name.
cssmtp1: The external writer name if the ExtWrtName statement is specified in the CSSMTP application configuration file, or the CSSMTP application address space name if the ExtWrtName statement is not specified in the CSSMTP application configuration file.
userid.mycssmtp.note: The SMTP commands data set.

Note: If you send a member of a partitioned data set (PDS) using the TSO TRANSMIT command, the member must be converted to a sequential file. Use the SEQ option on the TSO TRANSMIT (XMIT) command as shown in the following example:

XMIT jesnode.cssmtp1 DA(pds(member)) SEQ

In this example, pds is the name of the partitioned data set and member is the name of the PDS member that is to be sent to the CSSMTP1 external writer name.
