Error description
In the customer's environment in order for SMTP transmissions to work, DEST=SMTP must be used on the DD statement. Currently there is no way to do this. A new statement will be provided that will allow a DEST to be specified on the ALLOC command that will be used by EZLESSMT.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the Tivoli NetView for z/OS * * EZLEMAIL (EMAIL) command. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some installations need to use a * * destination (specified as DEST on an * * ALLOCATE command or in JCL) in addition * * to or instead of the SMTP writer name * * (such as having DEST(SMTP) in addition * * to WRITER(SMTP), as z/OS Communications * * Server may require). The EZLEMAIL * * (which has a command synonym of EMAIL) * * does not currently support a way to * * specify this value. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The EZLESSMT CLIST (which is called by the EZLEMAIL CLIST) issues an ALLOCATE command, specifying the WRITER keyword with the name of the SMTP writer program that was specified on CNMSTYLE statement COMMON.EZLsmtpNAME or defaulted. The DEST keyword is also allowed on the ALLOCATE command, but the EZLESSMT CLIST does not provide a way to specify a value for that keyword, nor does it include that keyword on the ALLOCATE command.
Problem conclusion
CLIST EZLESSMT is being changed to retrieve the value for a new common global variable, EZLsmtpDEST, to be used on the DEST keyword on the ALLOCATE command that it issues. If EZLsmtpDEST does not contain a value, or if it contains a value of *NONE*, the DEST parameter is not specified on the ALLOCATE command. EZLESSMT is also being changed to recognize a value of *NONE* for the EZLsmtpNAME common global variable, in which case the WRITER parameter is not specified on the ALLOCATE command. Also, the Tivoli NetView for z/OS V6R2M1 Command Reference Volume 1 (A-N) (SC27-2847-07) should be changed as follows: - The first sentence of the Usage Notes in the description of the EZLEMAIL command should be changed to read as follows: To use the EZLEMAIL command, you must customize the COMMON.EZLsmtpNAME, COMMON.EZLsmtpDEST, and COMMON.EZLsmtpHOSTNAME statements. See APAR OA48877 for the corresponding update to the CNMSTYLE shipped sample.
