RE: Print and email a file in the IFS

I assume that you have the PKZIP licensed product for System i... I have not used that product for many years, long before they included any encryption features, so I'm not familiar with its capabilities. They were a little rough around the edges when I reviewed...

Regardless, so long as you have it produce the encrypted zip in the IFS, with the proper CCSID coding, then you should have no trouble attaching to an email.

You have to be very aware of all the data conversion that is going on... The source data (CCSID 37) must be converted to ascii (CCSID 1252 for US PCs) before being enciphered, so the PKZIP command probably has a translation table or CCSID parm. Once the stmf is ready, just attach to an email or ftp to its destination.

Make sure your QCCSID system value is not 65535, as this setting disables much of the data conversion that is supposed to occur when exporting data to the IFS.

What I am required to do is zip the file with AES256 encryption. I have been
doing that on my pc ever since that debacle. Fortunately(?), it is
only once a
month.

John,

I use a variation of Dave Leland's SNDEMAIL command, that was
published ages ago in one of the rags... I have extended this a bit
over the years, one of which is to automatically zip attachments that
exceed a certain size. It works flawlessly, except when MSF gets
hosed up.....

Rob,

Does SNDMAIL properly handle PKZIP encrypted attachments? Some time ago, an
article presented the SNDEMAIL command, which also uses QTmmSendMail, as I
recall. The one time I tried using it to send an encrypted ZIP file, the
attachment was corrupted on arrival. It was very disappointing.

Rob - Does SNDMAIL allow an IFS attachment? If so, where can I find it?

(A Google search says it was in the Nov 98 NEWS400 but I doubt that is
available now).

Stop using SNDDST. Use the QTmmSendMail api instead. There's a nice
wrapper called SNDMAIL by Dave Leland that works fine.
