RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation

Nevermind me today... I was thinking it was looking for the last of 3 
chars to be not blank.  It's monday, I'm sorry I wasted everyone's time 
lol.  Looks fine to me now....

Hi Ron

No, "// sym" would be equal to "ca " (the three characters after the "." 
in
the email address.

All that Tommy is testing for is that:

a) There is an "@" symbol in the email address.
b) There is a "." somewhere after the "@" symbol (there has to be for the
address to have a top level domain (.com, .org, .ca, etc).
c) There has to be something after the "." (it doesn't matter what because
the routine isn't validating that the address or domain exists, just that
the format looks right)

So "rpowers@xxxxxxxx" would be classed as valid, but "rpowers@home"
wouldn't.

All the best

Jonathan

Sorry, I thought that returning *ON was invalid, my bad.  How about if we 
used rpower@xxxxxxxxxx

Pos=%Scan('@':EMail);  //rpower@ pos=7 
If Pos>0; 
  Pos=%Scan('.':Email:Pos); //stjohns. Pos=15
  If Pos>0; 
    If %Subst(Email:Pos+1:3)<>*Blanks; //sym is equal to blanks due to our 

.ca so it would skip this... am I correct?
      Return *On; 
    EndIf; 
  EndIf; 
EndIf; 
Return *OFF; //invalid email

 let's see...

Pos=%Scan('@':EMail);  //rpower@ pos=7 
If Pos>0; 
  Pos=%Scan('.':Email:Pos); //nf. Pos=10
  If Pos>0; 
    If %Subst(Email:Pos+1:3)<>*Blanks; //sym is not equal to blanks,
email is valid. 
      Return *On; 
    EndIf; 
  EndIf; 
EndIf; 

Return *OFF; //invalid email

Thanks,

I would think that that routine would find my home email address
invalid?

rpower@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

based on you substring for the first . after the @...??

Shouldn't be too hard for you to convert this to RPG 3...

Pos=%Scan('@':EMail); 
If Pos>0; 
  Pos=%Scan('.':Email:Pos); 
  If Pos>0; 
    If %Subst(Email:Pos+1:3)<>*Blanks; 
      Return *On; 
    EndIf; 
  EndIf; 
EndIf;

  Does anyone have an email syntax validation routine they could
post...or point me to a sample somewhere?  I just want to make sure it
is in a valid format.  I don't care if it is a valid address or if the
domain exists.  Oh....it also has to be in RPG III.....don't ask.....
 
  Thanks,
