Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the NOTIFY parameter to request that the system send a message to a user when this background job completes processing.

Considerations for an APPC scheduling environment

The NOTIFY parameter has no function in an APPC scheduling environment. If you code NOTIFY, avoid possible syntax and runtime errors by reading the information about scheduler JCL for TP profiles in z/OS MVS Planning: APPC/MVS Management.
