I am using the Carla BUNDLEBY parameter to group output and send emails to different owners.  

I would like to send the data within the body of the email, but the font in the email is always comes across as Courier New and could be mistaken for spam. Is it possible to change the font in the body of the email to something else and maybe highlight text by using bold? 

Hi Scott, 

CARLa does not support a parameter that enables you to change the font in generated emails.
However, CARLa does have support for generating output in XML format that you can post-process with XSLT stylesheets to a different layout.

But that might not be what you were looking for.

Tom, would you have a simple example of generating Carla RACF output into XML format?

Hi Scott,

this is a sample CARLa job that generates XML-formatted reports that are sent to a recipient as email attachment.
It does not use BUNDLEBY, but you can tweak the job to fit with your company's requirements.

When I submit this job on my development system with my email address as the recipient, the reports get emailed to me as an attachment.
BTW, the style sheet c2rxsl01 that this job uses to transform the data is the standard style_sheet that zSecure supports in the SCKRCARL library. But, you or your experts can write your own style sheet with the layout characteristics that you prefer. 

I can then double click the attachment to open the attachment with my preferred browser or other application that can digest XML-formatted output:

I hope that you find this answer useful.

Hi Scott

If you omit the SMTPCLASS and SMTPWRITER keywords in your CARLa, but instead allocate an output data set to your C2REMAIL ddname, you can look at the Mime stream that gets generated by zSecure.

In the Mime stream you will find HTML to format the email, and it includes a <FONT SIZE="1"> tag. Yup, that is not supported by HTML5, but there you go, zSecure is old school.

It would be simple to write a Rexx or other post-processor to go through the Mime data set and change (all) the <FONT SIZE="1"> into <FONT FACE="Comic" SIZE="1"> or a more appropriate font.  Note, the data generated in Mime is just characters aligned with spaces, so you should pick a monospace font like Consolas.

The output of your post-processor can be sent to SYSOUT=B,WRITER=CSSMTP for distribution.
