z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

Options
Examples

command (or, alternatively, the command named in the MAILER
environment variable) to send mail to the corresponding user for any
appointments that are found to be current. Because calendar cannot
determine each user’s locale, it runs in the POSIX locale when this option is
used; otherwise it runs in the user’s locale, processing data in single-byte
mode.
