Re: SNDDST with multiple email addresses in TOINTNET

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're most likely going to have to build the command in a program as a
test string and then call QCMDEXC if the number of addresses and content
could be different each time.

All email addresses should be in single quotes as well, especially coming
from a variable as you don't know if there will be any special characters
in it.  It gets messy, but it's doable.  I've seen a few projects that
crashed randomly because of emails with a special character (even a single
quote) which can really throw things off.

While not a good practice, I've seen email with single quotes (ie,
sam_o'hara@xxxxxxxxx).  So that's another thing to look out for when
building the command string.

There are other solutions available that make it a lot easier and more
scalable as email systems change and require more security than just a
user/pw as well.  And also allow the use of ILE functions to build and send
the email so you don't have to use a clunky command interface that wasn't
really designed with this in mind.
