RE: RPGMail/JavaMail Issues

RPGMail_addAddress should be called for each "To" address.  The addresses
could be in an array, PF, etc, and you would just loop around the repeating
structure to call RPGMail_addAddress multiple times.
 
I am thinking of upgrading the RPGMail tooling to operate similar to my
latest tool the RPG Chart Engine.  This will create a single Java instance
running in a background batch job listening to a data queue waiting for
emails to send.  Don't know when I will get time to do it though :-)
 
Hope that helps,

Subject: RPGMail/JavaMail Issues


Hey, working with RPGMail in an interactive program. An email gets sent
after a task has been added to alert the next person to take action. The
problem is that the first time a person runs the program, it takes quite a
while for the JVM to start up thus makes the screen look like it freezes. To
fix the problem, I wrote a wrapper that then submitted the email portion to
batch. Now I am running into a problem where they want to send the email to
multiple people (imagine that). I have tried unsuccessfully to place all of
the addresses into a single "TO" address. I have used the semi-colon, a
comma, and a space to separate the addresses. 

Short of writing a parser to break apart the addresses, is there a way to
pass multiple addresses to a "TO" field?

Here is my wrapper code:

     P*--------------------------------------------------
     P* Procedure name: SendEmail
     P* Purpose:        Send Email at Real-Time
     P* Returns:        Was the Email Successful? 
     P* Parameter:      fromAddress
     P* Parameter:      toAddress
     P* Parameter:      ccAddress
     P* Parameter:      subject
     P* Parameter:      body 
     P*--------------------------------------------------
     P SendEmail       B                   EXPORT
     D SendEmail       PI              N
     D  fromAddress                 100A   CONST
     D  toAddress                 32767A   CONST 
     D  ccAddress                 32767A   CONST
     D  bccAddress                32767A   CONST
     D  subject                   32767A   CONST
     D  body                      32767A   CONST
