RE: Validate Email address in RPGLE

You don't want to check an email address only by the presence of the
@-sign. A much better idea is to check it using regular expressions.
This will not remove the limitation of the CCSID, however there must be
a way to represent the string to check in unicode or the likes.

Just my incomplete 2 cents,

Cor

Subject: Validate Email address in RPGLE

HiDoes anyone have sample of validating email address in RPGLE

program,

For example in RPGLE i can write
'@':1 Scan $1SeMail @Pos
If @Pos = 0
//process error here
endif

But this code will only work if CCSID is 37, as @ will be valid only
for
CCSID 37, but what is CCSID is different.
How do i check for the character,
Does anyone have any idea or sample code to do so

Ash
