Re: Outq to PDF to Email

Greetings!

--> I believe that ASC has products available which can do this for you.

Another idea - perhaps you can deliver the report directly back to the
browser, formatting it however you like using HTML.  And you can have
an "email me" link or button that will generate the same report as an
HTML email.  The IBM CGIDEV2 site has tools to do all of this.
