Hi Frank,

Here is some info from IBM InfoCentre.

Cheers.

Attach files

When sending e-mail on the iSeries server using the SNNDST command, you
may want to send a file or document with the e-mail. SNDDST is only
capable of sending a single document or file at a time. If you would
like to send multiple attachments, send MIME mail with the QtmmSendMail
API.

To attach and send a document with your e-mail, in the character-based
interface, type:

SNDDST TYPE(*DOC) DSTD(your description) TOUSRID(anyuser) DOC(yourdoc)
FLR(yourfolder)

To attach and send a file with your e-mail, in the character-based
interface, type:

SNDDST TYPE(*FILE) DSTD(description) TOUSRID(any user) 
MSG(message optional) DOCFILE(youlib/yourfile) DOCMBR(yourmbr)

Note: If you receive error messages, you may be attempting to send a
file or document that the iSeries server does not accept. You can use
the iSeries CPY commands to convert the file to a file or document that
is compatible with the SNDDST command.

Converting file types to send with SNDDST

With the iSeries server playing a larger role in the Internet, a method
is needed to send information easily from the OS/400 to e-mail clients.

Assuming that the spoolfile is already created, and the physical file
and folder already exist, you must convert the file into a sendable
format. The conversions are done by using iSeries commands, as shown
below.

Move the spool file to a data base physical file.

CPYSPLF   FILE(splfile)  TOFILE(dbfile)  JOB(job3/job2/job1)
SPLNBR(splnbr) TOMBR(mbr)

Move data base physical file to a folder.

CPYTOPCD   FROMFILE(lib/dbfile)  TOFLR(folder) FROMMBR(mbr) 
REPLACE(*YES)

Send the document.

SNDDST   TYPE(*DOC)  TOUSRID(user address) DSTD(MAIL) DOC(mbr) 
FLR(folder)
