Re: Using SNDDST to email physical files

I want to keep it simple.  Starting with a flat file on the AS/400 (in other 
words a file with only one field), I want to be able to email it out.  SNDDST 
seems to be limited as to what and how it can email these things out. Will it 
convert a file from EBCDIC to ASCII automatically? If not, why not since email 
is an ASCII world function?

Did you convert it to ASCII?

Could be that you've got an EBCDIC/ASCII conversion problem. If the flat file 
is EBCDIC and email program is assuming it's ASCII, then this would cause the 
email client to display garbage.
