Re: iseries rcv orders via email -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Jim

<vendor response> We ar RJS Software have a product called POP/400 that can do this. Any POP3 mailbox can be used - does not need to be on the 400 - and emails are put into PF members you can read and parse. </vendor response>

Whatever you do, have the layout generated by the web page be consistent. Font should not matter, but you can't process images in RPG - text only, I would think. Try to avoid Base64 conversions (hope I'm using the right term there)

I've been asked to look at upgrading an existing app to receive orders via email (currently uses 5250 data entry, or web data entry, or .csv import file). Looking for what works/doesn't work. Would definitely like an automated hands off approach. Could be hundreds of orders per day. Does email need to be text only/courier new 10cpi, or is there a way to process others? This is a small shop, no edi tools. system at v5r3. Their customer wants to forward an existing email & not interested in changing their end. tia jim franz -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
