RE: Bursting Spool Files/Emailing as PDFs

Andrew,

Our SpoolFlex product can do this. 
SpoolFlex is an iSeries solution that is written to run
"right out of the box". 
SpoolFlex can pull the email address (or Fax number) from
the page to use, or it can pull some other value such as
Vendor Number and look up the email address and/or fax
number in it's Address Book.
No programming is required, no exit point etc.
It is flat priced (no tier pricing). 
No charges when you upgrade your hardware or OS
No charges based on additional partitions

We do offer a free 15 day trial if you would like to get it
and try it out.

Subject: Bursting Spool Files/Emailing as PDFs

We have been using Gumbo's Spoolmail and Report Manager to
do this.
Management now wants us to handle a large number of reports,
emailing to
an address listed in the spool file itself.

Gumbo can do this with the use of exit programs, but I've
been asked to
find a solution that supports this "out of the box".

My prior notes on the subject have Octo Tools as a
non-iSeries solution
(it supports the AS/400, but runs on a Windows box).  Are
there any
solutions other than IBM's Infoprint that run on the
iSeries?  They will
have to be capable of bursting the spool files and sending
out the pages
to an email listed on the documents without the use of
directory entries.

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
