Re: Help with Klement's SMTP routines

You mentioned that the system CCSID's were the same. What about the job
CCSID?

Subject: Help with Klement's SMTP routines

We're using Scott Klement's SMTP and SNDMAILxxx stuff to generate emails
with attachments from inside an RPGLE program on the IBM i. The attachments
are pdf and/or CSV's. It's worked for years.

Now it's failing (at a client site) at a step that does the following...

1. Create a temp file in the IFS using the external procedure
'_C_IFS_tmpnam'
2. Uses CPY to copy the PDF or CSV file (also in the IFS) into the temp
file from step 1 3. Creates another temp file in the IFS and opens it,
marked as CCSID 819 4. Closes the file from step 3 5. opens the file
from step 3 again, in text mode (presumably so data will be automatically
translated?)

This is where it fails, at step 5, saying 'Convert error.'

This works on my servers (v7r3 and v5r4 and v5r3), but not on a client's
server (v7r3).

There doesn't appear to be any problems with the original pdf file. It can
be opened, viewed, attached to emails using the client separate email
server. The system CCSID is the same on both our servers.
It just can't pass this conversion step to be attached to an email
generted inside the SNDMAILxxx program.

Any ideas?
