You really can't debug a program with optimize *FULL.

You'll never see what you expect.

Not a dumb question, as far as I know.

My first attempt was just to run the send mail command. No mail ever got
delivered. Same thing happened when I completely removed the Date: header.

So, I compiled with full debug. I neglected, however, to stop
optimization, so
the default of *FULL was used. That thought came to me after I sent
the email.
Just compiled it with no optimization. Now, in debug, several lines
below that
assignment statement, on a breakpoint, the variable is formatted. The date
header now looks like this:

Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:40:27 -0600




But, I have sent two emails now, and still have not seen them anywhere.

On my attempts with *FULL optimization enabled (my oversight), I had placed
a
breakpoint on the statement following the assignment. With optimization, I
guess I needed to place the breakpoint further down than I did.

That might explain why the header had nothing in it. But, I checked
the header
against another received email, and it is correct. Or, looks correct.
Maybe
there is still something wrong like garbage on the end, or missing a string
terminator.

Quoting Crispin Bates <cbates@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

Perhaps a dumb question. Are you breaking on the line where mdatetime is
assigned a value, or after it is assigned a value?

First, I know this is not an RPG list.

I apologize for asking what, to me, seems an especially dumb question.

But, I am clearly missing something. I finally had the time to
incorporate the
code Scott posted that he uses to format the Date:. My attempt is
resulting in
no Date: header. Using debug, I can comfirm that Scott's code works,
and
very
nicely. I am, however, managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of
victory, as
the Date" header I try to construct shows as totally bklank in debug.

So, maybe I am defining something incorrectly?

Below is the D spec and the attempted assignment statemant:

D mdatetime s 256a

mdatetime = 'Date: ' + Temp + ' ' + tz;


What I am lost on is I tried a fixed format EVAL as well. The Temp and
tz
variables have values. But, the variable I am trying to build does not
even
have 'Date: '.

Again, I apologize for asking an RPG question, and likely a very basic
one
at
that.
