RE: Spool to Image, QIMGCVTI or QimgCvtImg Example.

Sure thing, I already have capabilities to create PDF documents from spool files, or without them. I also have capabilities to send HTML Emails with existing <img>.

My immediate need was to send an image over a MMS gateway, I already got it working, however, I'm still interested on a working example of QIMGCVTI/QimgCvtImg.

Can I ask why you want to convert to an image before emailing?

Are you sending the email as an HTML email? If so, does that mean you'll be embedding the image in your email, or referencing it in the HTML with am IMG tag?

There are already many products out there that may help that convert to PDF and email the resulting file.

I found that I can Copy a spool file to a GIF image using a *WSCST
object with V7R1 very easily.

CPYSPLF FILE(QSYSPRT) TOFILE(*TOSTMF) SPLNBR(*LAST)
TOSTMF('/home/jmerinoh/mygif.gif') WSCST(QWPGIF).

It also can be used to create TIFF images with QWPTIFFPB and QWPTIFFG4
*WSCST objects as well.

I'm still would be interested on an example to create an image
QIMGCVTI or QimgCvtImg APIs if possible, so I'm looking to other Image
Types such BMP or JPG.

Thanks all.

Hi guys!

I have a little project to generate text images and attach them into
emails. So my options are pretty narrowed down to:

a) Have ILE RPG to write an image stream directly into IFS.

b) Write an Spool File and convert it to an image.

So, I was looking into the possibilities of QIMGCVTI/QimgCvtImg API,
does somebody have an example to share? Or any suggestion?

Thank you all.
Jorge
