RE: Text format using ESNDMAIL

ESNDMAIL is the sequel facility for sending e-mails from the AS400.  It's
really useful, enabling e-mails to be sent with Excel attachments from an
AS400 etc.  This current project simply picks up the spool file produced
when an invoice is printed and send it via the esndmail command.  I don't
think that source would help because the only relevant bit is the ESNDMAIL
command to which you pass the various parameters to show which spool file it
is.  The only parameter that might help is the attachment type but this has
to be *spl for a spool file, as opposed to HTML, *XLS etc.

I hope I'm making sense to someone!

Thanks again,

Jenny

I have not heard of esndmail; do you have source to look over?

We do similar things here, but the "cheap" freeware way,
by doing a cpysplf, off to a folder, and use snddst with
the attached text file, been working fine; but it is
an "old" and non-fancy way of doing things.

We did have some issues with wider reports, but just had
to bump up the size of our temp file we did the cpysplf into.

I know its not much to go on, but I HTH.

Mark.

Dear List,

I am a junior programmer developing a utility to e-mail our invoices using
esndmail.  My main problem is the format that the file attachment takes when
the person receives it.  The invoices look okay when opened up but seem a
lot wider than the normal spool file, with the consequence that when printed
the text wraps around and is unreadable.  Is there anyway around this apart
from re-jigging the printfile to be really narrow?

When you do a drag and drop from Ops Navigator to your desk top then print
the text file it comes out fine.  Is there anyway that the esndmail utility
can produce the text file in the same format as this (a way of changing font
or other defaults...)?

Thanks in advance for any help - it could really speed up such developments
in the future!
