OS command WRKSMTPEMM to get read version (DSPSMTPEMM)

WRKSMTPEMM needs *ISYSCFG special authority - request a DSPSMTPEMM version that does not require the special authority


Use Case:

Many user now use SNDSMTOPEMM to send emails from Series i. The log from the command usage is found in WRKSMTPEMM. However this command cannot be used through authority adoption - required administration authority of *IOSYSCFG. The programmers do not have *IOSYSCFG authority. A read version should be created DSPSMTPEMM.
(example) WRKDIRE command has a read version DSPDIRE )

    We all certainly need a way to extract the information available via wrksmtpemm.  any method that can be delivered fairly quickly would be helpful for automated reporting.... whether it is direct access to get to journal records, an SQL table or function, the display command suggested as long as it gives us the ability to extract data so we can do reporting we have done in the past with the MSF journal method....

    Thanks!!

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.
