RE: Sending MAPICS reports via email

we started out by using the SNDDST command, and then changed to the SNDM.

Our experience was that the SNDDST emails were being blocked about 2%-4% of
the time by spam filters on various ISPs: the SNDDST transmissions look like
"bursts" of "bulk email", and so are blocked.  (You also have to make sure
that your return address is valid or spam filters block that too).  We
changed to SNDM and the remaining 2%-4% went through without any other
changes.

Now perhaps we didn't have a rule set up right in our network (we had
network guys look into it), or perhaps we didn't have a parameter set up
right on SNDDST (we tried permutations), so I guess all I am saying here is
"Your mileage may vary"

We configured the AS/400's SMTP to route the email for us.

We added a few lines in the CL to route the spool file as a text file to 
the user and it has sufficed for our requirements.

CALL       PGM(COM101)  <------------ this was simply the existing program 
that created the traditional green-bar report.
CRTPF      FILE(QTEMP/COM101.TXT) RCDLEN(200)
CPYSPLF    FILE(CSTRPT) TOFILE(QTEMP/COM101.TXT)  SPLNBR(*LAST)  
CPYTOPCD   FROMFILE(QTEMP/COM101.TXT) TOFLR(COM)  REPLACE(*YES)  
MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000) 
SNDDST     TYPE(*DOC) TOINTNET(('dcom101@xxxxxxxxxxxx') +  <-------- 
dcom101 is a Domino email list
             ('wramos@xxxxxxxxxxxx' *BCC)) + 
             DSTD('COM101 - Backlog by Class (Promise Date)')    <-------- 
subject
             MSG('COM101 - Backlog by Class (Promise Date)  ')    
<-------- body
             DOC(COM101.TXT)  FLR(COM)             <------- attachment
MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000) 
DLTF       FILE(QTEMP/COM101.TXT) 
MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000) 


It can be set up to route internally, or via the internet.

This would also work using a Spool2PDF command as suggested by Albert 
Codinha.

Have fun!

Sending MAPICS reports via email






We generate a collection of MAPICS and Query reports during out
month-end reporting process that we need to be able to easily "send" via
email. 

What is the best and/or easiest way to accomplish this?  We're running
XA 5.5.  We're running Exchange 2000.  We have a dedicated Internet
link.

Looking for solutions...  Currently we're pulling data into Excel
spreadsheets and sending those.  We'd like to stop doing that, avoid the
extra work, and just send the MAPICS reports and query results.

Thanks!
