Introduction<\/h2>\n

During my various tasks at work , it was sometimes and for many reasons , asked by users to have more precisions in jobs notifications sent by mail.
\nFirst of all, displaying the jobname , and why not the application name related and also the end of execution,without having to consult an eventual attached output.
\nQuestion<\/u>
\nHow can we define a job to send such information ( especially end time with hours minutes and seconds display in a more explicit way )?
\nExample
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe see that we have no concrete information except the order id,and when the customer is not a user of controlm it can be not enough.We see for example the time format which is not really adapted.
\nThe request was to have a notification format with HOUR , MINUTES and SECONDS in order to be more readable.
\nSolution<\/u>
\nControl-M can use variable inside the jobs, so we will use this method to display the information needed in our mail.<\/p>\n

Using Control-M system variables<\/h2>\n

Variables usage on Control-M :
\nAll variables are identified by the %% prefix. If %% is included in the value for a job processing parameter, Control\u2011M assumes that it is referring to a variable or function.
\nTo manage jobname and application name , we will use Control-M system variable such as %%JOBNAME and %%APPLIC<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

System variable list are available on BMC\u2019s site or on your Control-M GUI client.<\/p>\n

Using local variable<\/h2>\n

Define in the job, in the general<\/em> part, the variable corresponding, with the inputs below:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFill the variable name and the value:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFill the variable parts with the value to be used in order to display hours minutes and seconds as you can see below by choosing “local”<\/em> type:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nNote:
\n%%SUBSTR function definition :
\n<\/strong>
\n%%SUBSTR<\/strong> is a string function that is used to extract a substring from within a larger string.
\nThis function has the following format:
\nresult<\/em>=%%SUBSTR variable<\/em> startpos<\/em> length<\/em><\/p>\n
