Re: QtmmSendMail - Send Mail API

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

A couple of thoughts:

1. Be sure to convert to ASCII character set on the CPYTOSTMF command.
You can leave the option of *AUTO or use a table name. If you use a
table name be sure to put it in IPCS format
(QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYTABLE.TBL for example).

2. Depending on what you are doing with your file you will probably also
want to specify that the CPYSTMF command add a Carriage Return and Line
Feed to the end of the lines (ENDLINFMT(*CRLF)).
