The situation is that I have three different environments. If we are in development, lets ignore the email If we are in pre-prod, let’s assume someone is perform a User Acceptance test. If we are in production, we should jump in and deal with remediation.
When the email is sent, I have embedded Symbolics in the email text itself, meaning I need to use //SYSUT1 DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS, with IEBGENER. In this situation, I cannot put the email text in a PDS as I would not be able to use the SYSBOLS= clause with IEBGENER, On the other hand I could put all the email text into a PDS member, and pre-process this email text performing all the Symbolic substitutions, and create a temp file that has already had all of the substitution performed, pass it to IEBGENER without the SYMBOLS= clause, and go from there. Sri, showed me how to gather the available data from the existing System Symbolics, and I can pass other data I need via PARMs. So I am all good to go now. However, I am going to look into writing a tiny C program, that I can call as a utility to assign a return code value. Just to see what it takes. I was looking to run a utility that would simply generate a Return Code value, I could use to conditionally execute a JOBSTEP.

Presuming these are three different z/OS instances. why not just use system symbols to make the determination of what environment is being used?
