RE: Using SNDDST to email physical files

Because you can send binary objects, ebcdic objects, etc .... How should
the email process determine what you meant to do??

Since you are using SNDDST just use the CPYTOPCD command to place the
file on the IFS & send the file from QDLS.... 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

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?

Does anyone have any utilities or service programs that can assist in

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.
