Setup an email address. At you required interval, look for files in /QTCPTMM/MAIL/userid. They should end with ".NOT". You can do this with API's, or CL, or RPG. You can do a CPYFRMSTMF, or use RPG, to read the files directly. All the header information will come in first. I usually put some code in to recognize the first vaid line and then start processing from there. Art Tostaine, Jr. CCA, Inc.

For example, the mailman mailing list software lets you put commands in a message body, and a program acts on the message when received. I get an email from our material planners every Friday for the parameters for our weekly MRP submission. Now the MRP submission is mostly automated, once I have these parameters. What I would like is for the planner to send an email to the AS/400, and have a program grab the email body, verify the MRP parameters (done), and run the MRP submission program. I know I must set up POP3 on the 400, but where/how do I hook to run custom programs when emails are received? Any pointers to doco welcome.
