Hi I’m Jean-Loup PIETIN from FRANCE and I work like System Analyst on ZOS 2.1
I wrote you because we encounter a problem with your XMITIP program in version 18.07 and the author of this program (Lionel B Dyck) advise me to search in this forum. This is the message that i wrote to Lionel : We use XMITIP to send mail from Z/Os 2.1 via a NJE node to Z/VM 6.4… But we have a problem with txt file attachment.. when we send a file with line length > 204 characters … the mail was doesn’t sent… We have open a PMR with IBM but no solution found… In cause, the mail object was send in VAFP print file and the SMTP partition on Z/VM don’t support the VAFP print file…. The solution for the moment is to send the TXT attachment in ZIP format but when we use the ZIP format, we use CPU consumption on Z/Os and the goal of our migration of XMITIP via NJE is to decrease the CPU consumption. That’s why we wrote a program in JAVA to ZIP PDS file for use the ZIIP processor before send mail with XMITIP…but if it’s possible to keep the format TXT when we use the VIANJE option with Z/VM, it will be good. I don’t know if it’s possible to encode in BASE64 the txt file when we transmit the mail but it will be a solution like the PDF or BIN format… Thanks a lot for reading me and I hope to find the best solution. And the response of Lionel was : I would like to help but I am not in a site with NJE – however all XMITIP does when used in the NJE mode is to generate SMTP data in the JES SPOOL for routing to an SMTP started task at another JES node. I am not aware of LRECL limitations (mostly I don’t remember if there are). IBM should be able to provide insight into the NJE LRECL limitations of both JES and z/VM for you. You can ask your question on the IBM-Main Listserv as someone there is very likely to be able to give you some advice as well. Let me know how you resolve this – I’m sorry that I don’t have a better answer for you. Lionel If anyone know how i can send a mail with txt attachement line length >204 without ZIp it, i'll take it Best Regard Jean-Loup PIETIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
