Re: Generating email from RPG IV

The Domino RPG HiTest API (which incidentally is no longer supported, but 
it does work for the time being) could help you out.  It comes with some 
sample code covering several capabilities of the API, one of which is 
sending email.  Although, that's not your best choice due to the fact that 
the HiTest API will never be enhanced or changed at all.

Then there's the C API...which I have been grinding through for the past 
couple of months.  It's a low level interface to most of the Domino 
classes.  It has its place, but in your case it might be like using a 
sledge hammer to tack up a "post-it" note.

I would recommend either the C++ API, which is the next level up from the 
C API, or the Java interface.  You could create a service program or a 
couple of ILE modules which your RPG could invoke to send your email. 
(plus, you get to code some Java, which is pretty cool)

Depends.

I am sure there are a couple of ways of doing this.

One way, has some restrictions.  The restriction is that it will not work
on a 400 using native Domino SMTP, you know, not using the 400.  If you
configured your server using
SMTP services  . . . . . . . . .   *DOMINO       *SAME, *DOMINO, *MSF
Then you are hosed.  However if used *MSF then you're ok.  (The *DOMINO
method will give you far better performance for a 400 with a lot of
internet mail.)
So in summary I use this method on all of our 400's except two.

David Leland wrote a dandy little utility program called SNDEMAIL.  He
originally published the article in NEWS/400.  I know you can download the
code from there.  (Providing you have a membership).  He might send it to
you.

For some simple crude testing there is the SNDDST command.  Again, no
*DOMINO.

If you are using the *DOMINO, then perhaps there is a Domino API you can
call which will help you out.  I tried some scanning but couldn't find any
documentation listing the API's available.

Does someone have an example of emailing some information from a RPG IV
program?  What I would like to do is send an email that contains an item
number and some text.  The text will be the same each time, but the item
number would be different.

Thanks in advance.
