RE: Email from AS/400 -- RPG400-L

Hi Sue, hope you're doing well.

YES, I found a relatively good way to send an email with attachment from the AS/400. It is using the QtmmSendMail API.

I found it on the NEWS/400 as the free code.

It is working so, that it takes an IFS file, add MIME header and footer, and writes back to IFS to temporary file, then calls API, which send the mail and delete the temp file.

But be aware, there are a few troubles -

1) the code page problem - you need to specify the same CP in source of program (variable AsciiCodePage), it must be the same as the CCSID parameter in CHGSMTPA command (and when this parm will be changed, you will need to change the program and recompile it).

2) the non-text attachments - aren't working :o(, only text files are beeing sent correctly

3) the large files are divided incorrectly to more mails, so the target probably won't be able to become the same file as was sent.

I found the solution to the third problem, but it must not be always correct, look at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r4/ic2924/info/RZAIRSSV4.HTM#HDRRZAIRSSV4

(use the correct for your OS version)

In the attachment of this mail you will find three files, you will have to change the libraries names in them.

CRTPGMSM pgm is CLP, which will create the main program (SNDEMAIL_P)

You will need to create the SNDEMAIL command with PGM(SNDEMAIL_P)

You will also need to have configured SMTP.

! ENJOY !

For any question, pls mail me back ....

Patrik,

Did you ever figure out a good way to send an email with an attachment from the 400?

I am trying to do the same thing.
