RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation






Shouldn't be too hard for you to convert this to RPG 3...

Pos=%Scan('@':EMail); 
If Pos>0; 
  Pos=%Scan('.':Email:Pos); 
  If Pos>0; 
    If %Subst(Email:Pos+1:3)<>*Blanks; 
      Return *On; 
    EndIf; 
  EndIf; 
EndIf; 


Thanks,

  Does anyone have an email syntax validation routine they could
post...or point me to a sample somewhere?  I just want to make sure it
is in a valid format.  I don't care if it is a valid address or if the
domain exists.  Oh....it also has to be in RPG III.....don't ask.....
