WARNING: EMAIL: 552 MAIL FILE TOO LARGE

[rkumar23]

On MVS while attaching file it's too large and get above error now what I like to do is fetch this error and notify via email...i tried with SYSERR however that doesn't seems to work out..anybody else got any other thoughts?

Looks like a Warning and not an Error to me.

Not sure if this will work but you could try to check for a return code of "warning" and if there is one also check the content of automatic macro variable "&SYSWARNINGTEXT" (=does it contain the expected warning). Send an email if both conditions are satisfied.

I hope this little program helps:

/*if the commented set statement is used instead of the
uncommented set statement in the second data step below,
the value of &syscc will be non-zero for the program, and
the value of &syserr will be non-zero for the step. You can
see in the log that the value of &syserr will change for each
step and the value of &syscc will not.
