Hello Paul, I am using XMITIP plus TXT2PDF for getting PDF and excel Files in Arabic (CSSMTP being used), But when the PDF or spreadsheet reaches the outlook email box the PDF or Spreadsheet contents are intact but the email body has a ARABIC in Junk format. I believe XMITIP has NLS facility to generate Arabic support but I dont know where to start.
Can i use ICONV to define a new IBM-420 codepage ? If so Should i get those Hex values as input file to generate Code page for IBM-420 using ICONV I also understand CUNRCSM can also help to achieve the same but I never used it. Does anyone has experience using CUNRCSM along with XMITIP(CSSMTP) to use Arabic font to do ?
