What does NOTIFY=&SYSUID mean on the first line of a JCL? For example in the below declaration:

//DEV1000D JOB (0998,DEV,000,US),'TEST',        
//         CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=V,NOTIFY=&SYSUID

Soluzione

NOTIFY=&SYSUID indicates that the user who submitted the job should be notified when it completes.

From the MVS JCL manual: NOTIFY:

In a non-APPC scheduling environment, requests that the system send a message to a userid when this background job completes.

&SYSUID

The system replaces &SYSUID with the user ID under whose authority the job will run, which is normally one of the following:

  • The USER parameter from the JOB statement, if specified, or
  • The user ID from which the job was submitted.

Let me explain what is NOTIFY

NOTIFY statement is to direct the system ,where it has to send the success failure message after completing the job.

syntax :NOTIFY=userid/&SYSUID

Simply it says to which user the notification has to be send &SYSID is the userid from which the jcl is submitted

eg: NOTIFY=TRC033 will send success/failure message to trc033

NOTIFY=&SYSUID will send send/failure message to user submitting the job
