Re: Validate Email address in RPGLE

Hi

What i did was wrote an RPGLE program which accepts one input string as
email address and then validates it,

I then changed to current job CCSID to 273 and ran the program, i got § as
input,

My system CCSID is 37 ( i hope that is what is meant by *DEVD CCSID, it is
the system CCSID)

How do i find out my terminal CCSID or *DEVD

Nice, enjoy Las Vegas

You need to describe in more detail how you are performing your test.

If, for example, you simply did a CHGJOB CCSID(273) and then entered a @
at a CCSID 37 terminal using a *DSPF with CHRID(*DEVD) then you would, in
debug, see a §.

You would also get the same § if you had your job in 37, the device was in
273, and the *DSPF was CHRID(*DEVD).

If you have the job in 273 and the device in 273 then you should get @.

What is your job CCSID?
What is your *DEVD CCSID (CHRID)?
What CCSID is the display device configured to be using?
What is your *DSPF CHRID setting? (the default is *DEVD, which is
essentially 65535 -- no conversion between the job and the device)

Hi

I did used

eval At_Sign = u'0040'

in my RPG code and i get @ sign no matter what the CCSID is (did not try
with 65535 as most of our systems are set not to use this)

But i have another issue now, i ask the user to enter the email address in
a
screen as input,

But if the CCSID is not 37 then i get different value for @ sign in my
RPGLE
program.

For example if i set CCSID as 273 then i get § instead of @ sign, even if
the user enters @ sign

So how do i convert this input value to @ sign for validation and then
inserting in database

This Bruce V. does NOT agree ;)

The system will take care of the conversion IF the job CCSID is NOT
65535.
But if the job CCSID is 65535 then no conversion will occur.

Using the Unicode to Character approach I proposed in an earlier append
the conversion will take place in either case. If the job CCSID is not
65535 you'll get At_Sign in the job CCSID. If the job CCSID is 65535
you'll
get At_Sign in the job default CCSID. Since the job default CCSID will
always match the job CCSID (except for the 65535 case) this means you'll
always get At_Sign in the "most likely correct" CCSID.

This is not true when using database conversion support.

One technique is to put literals like the @ sign into a CCSID-tagged
field in a PF - it can even be tagged with 37. Then when it is brought
into your program, the system takes care of converting to the right
thing.

That's what a support guy at IBM said, and Bruce V. seemed to agree.

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
