Function

The EQQWXHTM program produces an HTML representation of a calendar. The calendar can be a simple calendar for the year with no scheduling information, or it can contain highlighted dates extracted from HCL Workload Automation for Z, such as calendar free days and run dates.

All dates will have the Julian date available as a Tooltip when the mouse is hovered over the date. If the day is normally a free day, the julian day is appended with -F. Any date based free days must be set by the PROCESS keyword and will contain their description in the Tooltip, but no -F. Any other specific dates can also contain Tooltip text to explain why they have been highlighted.

If multiple events coincide on the same date, for example Free days and named dates, the date is shown in a box and the tooltip will contain text for all events on that date.

Titles, colors, free days, month, and day names can all be manipulated by keywords.

Multiple lists of dates can be loaded into the calendar, each with their own color coding and individual descriptions. Individual dates within the lists can also have specific color coding.

The html file produced by this job can then either by transferred to a non-z/OS platform for sending via email, sharing by Windows, Samba, or a web server, or it could be sent directly from a mainframe SMTP server as an email attachment or served by a mainframe based web server.
