Job completion

When you execute a background or batch job, you can ask the system to notify your time sharing userid or another userid when the job completes. Under TSO/E, a background job is one that is entered from a terminal by a SUBMIT command or by executing a step to run TSO/E in the background. For more information, see z/OS TSO/E Command Reference. A batch job is one that is entered through an input stream.

To request automatic notification, code in your JCL for the job one of the following:

In a TSO/E background job in a JES2 or JES3 system, specify a userid (and optionally a node) in the JOB statement NOTIFY parameter. If you specify a node, the userid must be attached to that node. If you do not specify a node, the userid must be attached to the node from which the job originated.
In a TSO/E background job or a batch job in a JES2 system, specify a userid in a JES2 /*NOTIFY statement and, if the userid is attached to another node, the node.
In a batch job in a JES3 system, specify a userid (and optionally a node) in the JOB statement NOTIFY parameter and the processor for the userid in the ACMAIN parameter of the JES3 //*MAIN statement.

Examples

   In a JES2 or JES3 system:
        //MYJOB  JOB  ,'I. BUTLER',NOTIFY=DN62PSS
        //MYJOB  JOB  ,'I. BUTLER',NOTIFY=FARNODE.DN62PSS

   In a JES2 system:
        /*NOTIFY DN62PSS4
        /*NOTIFY FARNODE.DN62PSS

   In a JES3 system:
        //MYJOB  JOB  ,'I. BUTLER',NOTIFY=DN62PSS
        //*MAIN  ACMAIN=2
