Re: Sending Email From RPG

1 - Actually SNDEMAIL logs all requests to a file.  Not the whole email, 
but at least an entry.  If you want to see if it really sent successfully 
then you need to follow the InfoCenter's section on Troubleshooting Email.

2 - Central control.  One item to look for central control is email 
addresses.  We used to have a gaggle of little files out there named after 
particular applications, and a host of other techniques for storing which 
email addresses got which report.  When someone left the company it was a 
blue blooded bi... to search all of these files for them.  Now we have one 
file that has the following layout:
Key  A/D  Field        Start     End  Attrib  Text 
 1    A   EGRP             1      10  A10     File group 
 2    A   ECMPNY          11      12  A2      Sending company 
 3    A   EFAC            13      14  A2      From facility 
 4    A   ECUST           15      20  A6      Customer # 
 5    A   ESHIP           21      24  A4      Customer ship-to 
          ESUBJ           25      74  A50     Subject text 
          EFNAM           75     114  A40     From name 
          EFADR          115     164  A50     From address 
          EATYP          165     165  A1      To adr type (U,C)
          ETNAM          166     205  A40     To name 
 6    A   ETADR          206     255  A50     To address 
We keep one copy of this file, shared by all applications from all 
companies.

Let's say you host multiple companies or divisions.  And each division may 
host multiple facilities.  Servicing any number of customers, which may 
have multiple ship to locations.  And your ORD500 program needs to email 
something.
SNDEMEMC GROUP(ORD500) 
         SUBJECT(*GROUP) 
         MESSAGE('Yo, dude.') 
         SENDER(*GROUP *GROUP) /* use default sender from file */
         FILENAME(*NONE)      /* or your attachment name here */
         CMP(70) 
         FAC(75) 
         CUST(123456) 
         SHIPTO(*ALL) 

Actually when we divested one division it was quite easy to change their 
domain name from dekko.com to their new one by searching this file.
